Local agency, senior bilingual team, express delivery. Book for Cannes Lions 2026See our coverageAn audiovisual agency dedicated to the challenges of Cannes Lions
Cannes Lions is not a glamour festival. It is a B2B industry event that brings together the world’s CMOs, international advertising agencies, tech platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, Spotify, Adobe) and the trade media every year. The audiovisual coverage it calls for is radically different from a film festival: multi-camera panel filming, keynote capture, EPKs for the trade press, live streaming, corporate content.
Our teams are specifically trained for this type of filming. We master multi-camera set-ups for panels (3-4 synchronised cameras, dedicated wireless mics, slides and sponsor logos integrated in post), coverage of brand activations on the Croisette, executive portraits in pavilions, and discreet yet magazine-quality networking atmospheres.
Being based in Cannes changes everything for you: in-depth knowledge of the Palais des Festivals, the beach Pavilions and the palace hotels where executives stay. No chaotic logistics, bilingual FR/EN teams for your international clients, express delivery from same day for social content and next day for edited videos.
