TALENT & TRAINING

Cannes Lions is dedicated to nurturing the young talent of this industry: the students, young creatives, up-and-coming marketing talent, agency executives and young directors. Through our Young Lions competitions and tailored academies, we aim to inspire, educate and grow the fresh blood that this industry is built on.

At the same time, the Festival recognises that creative growth is a process that never stops. That’s why there is diverse learning on offer to suit every career stage. As well as the huge range of seminars and workshops open to delegates, the Cannes Creative Leaders Programme provides intensive training for those seeking an even more professionally rewarding Cannes Lions experience. The goal is for every delegate to leave Cannes more inspired, more aware and more prepared for new professional challenges.

The Cannes Creative Leaders Programme

To help creative executives lead their teams, agencies and companies more successfully, Cannes Lions teamed up with the Berlin School of Creative Leadership in 2010 to launch a new venture called the Cannes Creative Leaders Programme (CCLP), a two-week training initiative taking place in Berlin and Cannes. After three successful years, the CCLP is returning for 2013.

Combining festival programme insights, classroom lessons, and their own experiences, over the course of this innovative programme participants analyse current changes and apply them to an individual plan that lays out their leading strategy on the road to creative excellence.

The programme is designed for those either already in a leadership position or preparing to assume such a position in advertising or other creative industries. The programme gives participants the tools, insights and actionable ideas to help them lead for more creative excellence in their organisations.

The programme addresses three areas essential for advancing creative excellence:
1) The rapidly changing creative communication industries landscape;
2) Digital and media transformation; and
3) The management of creatives and creativity.
