Mr Goodvertising joins the Cannes Lions 2019 SDG Jury!

So why was I so excited to sit on this jury? Because for a long time I’ve been doing my best to get companies’ attention – to tell them how they should see sustainability as an opportunity! So to be offered a seat at the table where the lines are drawn up for what constitutes work that has an impact is phenomenal! And to be honest – it’s not like I can shut up about this topic anyway!

The fact that Cannes, for the second year running, have decided to bring attention to the UN sustainable development goals, is also a testimony to how mainstream the goals have become and neither brands nor agencies should ignore that.

Personally, I’m tired of marketing gimmicks and I’ll be looking for impact, impact, impact! I want to see work that makes kids proud of the work their mum and dad are doing.

I’ll be joining a great lineup of fellow creatives – check out the impressive list below or click here to see all the 2019 juries.
