PARIS, FRANCE — The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has revealed the lineup of experts who will form the inaugural Luxury & Lifestyle Lions Jury.
The newly introduced Luxury & Lifestyle Lion aims to set a global standard for luxury brands, celebrating the most impactful creative work, experiences, and business solutions in the luxury and lifestyle sector.
Leading the Jury as President is Charles Georges-Picot, CEO of Global Luxury Practice at Publicis Groupe.
