Cannes Lions has confirmed its Jury President line-up for the awards in June. Bozoma Saint John, Merlee Jayme and Geoff Northcott complete the full line-up and join the jury presidents initially appointed for the 2020 awards. Philip Thomas, Chairman, LIONS, said: “We know that after the postponement of last year’s awards, our Jury Presidents are eager to get going. They will be leading juries in a unique year, awarding Lions for both 2020 and 2021 – no small job but one that will provide a crucial reflection and insight into the industry’s recent unprecedented journey. Happily, they’re an extremely talented bunch of individuals and more than qualified to take on the job of setting the world’s new creative benchmark.” Cannes Lions has been recognising and celebrating progress-driving creativity since 1954. Appointed as this year’s President of the Titanium Jury – the Lion that awards game-changing work that marks a new direction for the industry and moves it forward – Susan Credle, Global Chief Creative Officer, FCB, said about the awards, “Advertising at its creative best is one of the most powerful economic-driving, business problem-solving, culture-changing agents in the world. By celebrating the work at The Cannes Lions Festival, we are reminded of our potential and inspired to live into it.”Credle joins a group of 16 female Jury Presidents, making the gender split 57% female and the highest representation of female leaders in the Festival’s history.Cannes Lions is scheduled to take place from 21-25 June 2021, and will incorporate the awarding of both the 2020 and 2021 Lions.
