The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has confirmed the names of the experts who will form the inaugural Luxury & Lifestyle Lions Jury.
The new Luxury & Lifestyle Lion has been launched to provide a global benchmark for brands in the luxury space, recognising and celebrating the most impactful creative work, experiences and creative business solutions for the luxury and lifestyle sector.
Jury President, Charles Georges-Picot, CEO Global Luxury Practice, Publicis Groupe will lead a multidisciplinary Jury. Together they will curate the winning body of work, across a diverse set of disciplines. Fashion designers, business leaders, brands, creatives, photographers, publishers will all be represented. Branded content experts, and specialists from the world of tech, media and experience will also lend their rich experience to set the benchmark for branded communications in this fascinating sector.
Cannes Lions is providing this highly disrupted sector with its own benchmark, so that as an industry we can move from driving awareness to recognising solutions that are changing business models and setting a new creative standard for a market in flux. The Lion will set a new standard in luxury across creative and craft, and everything that sits behind the work, including supply chains, sustainability, DEI and shifting business models.
The Jury will convene in Cannes to judge this year’s submissions, before revealing and celebrating them at the Cannes Lions Awards Show on Thursday 20 June.
