CD, Media Director to judge world’s premier advertising festival

Y&R Creative Director Vaughn Davis and MedieEdge:CIA Media Director Barry Williamson have been named as jurors for this year’s Cannes Lions advertising festival.

Vaughn will be judging the Direct Lions, while Barry will be joining the Media Lions jury. Only a handful of jurors are chosen from each country each year.

This will be Barry and Vaughn’s first time as Cannes judges, and after spending a week in a dark room looking at the world’s best work, they’ll stay on for the week of seminars, events and awards evenings that makes up the world’s number one advertising festival.
