#cannestagious Day Four

The Radio Cannestagious team set their glasses of rosé aside for twenty minutes to bring you, dear listener, the latest news from Cannes Lions where the Innovation Lions are now underway.

Nick talks to senior staff writer Patrick Jeffrey about the top seminars from Thursday, including Japanese telco Softbank's session about its empathetic robot Pepper.

We also get inside the mind of Iain Tait, executive creative director, Wieden+Kennedy, London and find out why he thinks the advertising industry is wearing a penis on its face, rather like DJ Ankle Pants. 

Read Tait's whole post on his blog: http://www.crackunit.com/2015/06/26/advertising-penis-face/ (Can't wait to see what weird queries drive visitors to your blog now, Iain.)

#cannestagious Day Five

That's it! The week is drawing to a close. 

Dan’s already headed home, so Nick talks with Contagious senior staff writer Patrick Jeffrey about the titanium & integrated, film and film craft, and branded content Lions and we have a special phone-in with FleishmanHillard ECD Nick Childs to talk about Jeff Goodby’s pronouncement that he’s quitting the festival (http://blogs.wsj.com/cmo/2015/06/24/outside-voices-is-cannes-getting-bigger-and-smaller-at-the-same-time/).

You’ll certainly see us next year, but now we're working on boiling down all the week’s wisdom into a super-concentrated dose we call Cannes Deconstructed. You can book a Cannes Deconstructed session with us to get all the most important insights from the festival to your company. And maybe even—though it is utterly unthinkable to us at this very moment due to its ubiquity this week—pop a few bottles of rosé for the occasion.

Hump Day on the Riviera

It's Thursday on the Croisette and there wasn't much awards-wise, but we've got Contagious editor Alex Jenkins in to talk about seminars, including Mark Pritchard's thoughts on the "crap trap," new findings from the IPA and a rambling party report, featuring the body roll of the one and only Channing Tatum.

Cannes Lions...or Chann-Lions? We've got the magic mic.

It's Friday, and we're almost at a close. Dan and Nick talk Entertainment Lions, more Walks of Shame and welcome a special guest to talk through the most exclusive VR experience of the week.
