Innovation Matters

A Cannes Lions event for Start-ups

This April, Lions Innovation and 2015 Grand Prix winner what3words invite you to join them for an evening of talks and drinks in the Rainmaking Loft, London.

Running alongside the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Lions Innovation is an exploration of data and tech as catalysts for creativity. The evening will be your chance to find out why the communications ecosystem is increasingly looking to start-ups to lend innovation to their campaigns, and how creativity can, in turn, give start-ups a competitive advantage.

It will also be a chance to hear from what3words, the start-up winner of the Innovation Lion Grand Prix in 2015. Hear their story, detailing how they captured hearts of the Innovation Lions Jury and achieved exposure that led to them raising $5 million.

Plus, you’ll hear from Chargifi’s CEO Dan Bladen on how a three-day intense boot camp has helped to sharpen his business plan and ensure market growth.

Who is it for?

Are you a start-up interested to getting your product noticed by brands and agencies? Would your start-up benefit from greater exposure and reach to these people? Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Are you a start-up operating within branded communications or an entrepreneur interested in innovation for advertising and communication? Do you want to learn how storytelling can help win you business?

If the answer is yes, then this event is for you.
