Day three was a great day at Cannes Lions for South African agencies with 19 more Lions being awarded. The only sad thing was the three Cyber (Digital) nominations, all from Ogilvy Cape Town, failed to convert to South Africa’s first Cyber win… maybe next year then.
The new agency totals are below, South African agencies now have a total of 30 Lions coming home.
