Another Festival For Those With A Cannes Don't Attitude
June 23, 2008
Not everybody gets to go to Cannes. Some advertising people are too busy worrying about what their clients actually want, or what will actually score with consumers as opposed to with a panel of industry judges. Then there are people who are so busy worrying about what the judges want to see that they fail to produce good enough work to get admitted at all. For this second, less successful group of adverteers there's a little ad festival that takes place on Coney Island just for them. It's called the Wrath of Cannes and it went down last Thursday at Cha Cha's Cafe on the Coney Island Boardwalk.
Exhibit A: The Grand Coney Trophy
Who won? Rob Wenger and Dead As We Know It did for their little website Virtual Drinking Buddy, built for whisky client The Knot. I like the concept, but it seems a bit empty doesn't it? Some more options for interaction with my drinking buddy would be nice to see. Well, guess Rob must have had his head up his ass—see exhibit A.
