About
The RAPP Cannes-cast is the first ever live, interactive online broadcast channel, from the Cannes Lions 2009 – bringing the world’s biggest advertising festival to RAPP’s global network, our clients and the broader marketing community.
We’ll be bringing some of the smartest, most inspiring thinkers in town direct to you with live, interactive online discussions from Monday 22 June through to Wednesday 24 June.
And when we’re not doing that, we’ll be arguing in public about the best work, uploading video interviews and news bulletins, twittering about the most exciting speakers, seminars and workshops and doing our best to bring the whole of Cannes Lions 2009 direct to you.

Our team on the ground
Rik Haslam, group creative architect
Rik’s addicted to exciting ideas and all things digital. Until recently he was an ECD, but now he’s some kind of weird creative-strategy-tech-data-consultant hybrid with responsibility for driving innovation across the group. So, if anything goes wrong with the site blame him.
Barney Cockerell, executive creative director
Barney is in turns terrified and inspired by the creative work being done today. He will be looking for work that connects with people in more relevant more powerful ways. Without this, innovation is a pointless exercise.
John Bjergfelt, art director
John can’t wait to get to Cannes and air his collection of 234 pairs of deck shoes and 143 Lacoste jumpers, in a tasteful selection of pastel shades.
Andrew Ford, copywriter
Andrew isn’t sure whether he’s going to be spending more time in the real world or the virtual one in Cannes. Either way, he’s looking forward to seeing some amazing work and hearing some brilliant thinking.
