As we rode in on the last leg of the Fireflies Tour, we kicked off the week long party that is the Cannes Lions.

Bottles of Rosé, parties, visiting with old friends and making new ones – everything we have come to expect of our yearly sojourn to France.

A special shout out goes to our former collaborators who took home the Grand Prix and Gold awards at the gala this past Saturday night.

Blink Productions took home a win with “Monty the Penguin” (above) directed by Dougal Wilson was honored with the Grand Prix in Film Craft for everyone’s favorite heartwarming holiday spot.

And our friend at Exit Films won Gold in Film Craft for Samsung’s “Every Day is Day One” directed by Mark Molloy.

We previously worked with Blink on “Trucks” for Cadbury, directed by Juan Cabral (for Fallon London). And we had the pleasure of working with Exit on Expedia’s “Out There Starts Here” with director Mike Daly out of DDB Sydney.

Also we can’t leave out the inimitable Publicis Mexico, who won a Gold Young Lion Award in print and three Bronze Lions as well for their work on Mini, Garnier, and BMW (check the work above).

Peruse Exit and Blink’s work below and a huge congratulations to all of our friends/clients who were honored in Silvers, Bronzes, Shortlists, or just with one too many glasses of Rosé!
