Thinkerbell’s Brittany Benitez, Bastion’s Harry Roth and Abel’s Siobhan Bird selected for Cannes Lions Creative Academy

Thinkerbell creative tinker Brittany Benitez, Bastion senior creative Harry Roth and Abel creative copywriter Siobhan Bird have been selected to attend the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and take part in the Creative Academy, a certificate programme designed to catapult younger creatives to the next level of their careers.

The Academy, limited to just 30 creatives globally, includes sessions with world-renowned CEOs, CCOs, artists, actors, directors, journalists and creatives, as they share their experience and knowledge with the next generation.

Says Simon Langley, national CCO, Bastion: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Harry, and we couldn’t be happier for him to head to Cannes and be inspired, not only by what he’ll experience at the academy, but the broader Cannes Lions festival. Knowing Harry, he’ll certainly soak it all up, and more! We look forward to him sharing his experience and insights with the agency on his return.”

Says Nicole Jauncey, co-founder and creative, Abel: “Siobhan (Shavvy B) being selected for Cannes Creative Academy is pure testament to her consistent pursuit of honing her craft. As a talented, driven and strategic creative thinker she’s one of the ones to watch – she is, without question, a future leader in this industry. Cannes Festival of Creativity is such an energising experience for the creative mind and we couldn’t be more ecstatic she’s off to learn from the world’s most inspiring thinkers.”
