Cannes Wrap-Up

Its Saturday, and I have one day in between events back in London so this post will be short and sweet! Below is the Cannes Event Recap which I've just finished and sent company-wide, as well as some great photos from the week. The event was really great - very hectic and crowded at times, with lulls in the mid-day. An overall great success for the whole core team!!

Be sure to check out the video below to get a real feel for the event!
