The Irish at Cannes

It may not have been a great year for Ireland but it was for the Irish.

This year saw several Irish creatives picking up awards at the 2012 Cannes Lions.

Unfortunately, we didn’t see any Irish agencies on the podium. Nonetheless, it’s great to see Johnny Kelly, Richie Smyth, Ciaran McCarthy and Rory Gallery (an Irish art director and copywriter living and working in Sidney) and Luke Franklin getting recognised for their work.

Aside from the Lions, two other Irish directors have shown their worth. Stevie Russell and Will Armstrong both picked up awards for their work in the Young Directors Awards.

Here is awarded work below:
