Getty Images' international creative experts will share
compelling insight around the future of video at the
60th anniversary of Cannes Lions International Festival
of Creativity, June 16 – 22,
2013.
"Video consumption is growing at a very rapid pace, especially
via online and mobile platforms, as well as motion enabled
advertising like billboards and Adshels. Advertisers are
continually finding innovative ways to engage with consumers,"
Andrew Saunders, Senior Vice
President, Creative at Getty Images said. "Getty Images will be
excited to share our creative insight, trend discovery and vast
video content offering with delegates at Cannes Lions."
Getty Images is collaborating with award-winning production and
installation artists The Light Surgeons to produce a dynamic video
wall which will feature creative content that explores visionary
themes. Forming a powerful center at the back of the Ortega space
in the Palais des Festivals, the bespoke wall, made up of 24
synonymous screens will allow delegates to interact and engage with
Getty Images content in an unparalleled and interactive manner. In
addition, Getty Images' relationship with The Light Surgeons will
surpass collaboration at Cannes Lions, through a continued
relationship as the company brings them on board as a new
contributor.
For the 16th consecutive year, Getty Images will
continue its sponsorship and support of the Young Lions Competition
at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The
competition pits the world's best talented, young creative teams
against the clock to produce an award-winning campaign. Getty
Images will be the exclusive content provider for the competition,
enabling contestants to draw from its broad range of creative,
editorial, archival and music collections, to help them produce
inspiring and award-winning work of their own.
Saunders continues: "Getty Images' support of the Young Lions
Competition over the past 16 years always produces work that both
inspires and surprises us. It is so rewarding to see some of the
world's most talented, young creatives use Getty Images' content to
produce such fresh and innovative work."
