August makes the finals of Cannes Young Lions Competition

may. 9 2008

We are over the moon to announce that August is a finalist at the Cannes Young Lions Competition 2008, in the ‘cyber’ category.

Our very own Zoë Warne and Matt Agar, were first-time entrants in this competition, which is considered amongst the most prestigious in the international advertising industry. August was one of six finalists; rubbing shoulders with some Australia’s leading agencies including Tribal DDB, Tequila and Soap.

There were over 220 entrants in both the print and cyber competitions, which involved the creation of a campaign for Surf Life Saving Australia, designed to persuade Australians to swim between the flags.

If successful, Zoë and Matt will be jetting off to the south of France to represent Australia at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, to rub shoulders with the best of the best. All airfares, accommodation and registration will be paid for by News Limited.

So ‘yeah team!’
