Simply The Best: According to the Cannes jury

Welcome back, Ad Industry! I hope the jetlag isn’t too bad, and the additional baggage you had to purchase to bring all those awards home wasn’t too much of a strain on the company credit card.

From the vantage point, it was great to see the work from across the globe being highlighted on the world stage. The Cannes Lions Film Jury picked these commercials as their winners in 2017. So sit down and soak up the genius of the following 15 commercials, and fingers crossed, it will be you on stage next year with that Gold Lion in your hands.
