The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity believes creativity is the driving force for business, for change and for good. The awards set a global benchmark for what good creative looks like, and the annual Festival connects those with a similar vision – all of which encompasses what we do as communications professionals.

The PR Council’s Cannes Lions Resource Center is your go-to resource for perspectives and information on the recent Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
