Ogilvy: Three Cannes Lions returned
The Frankfurt-based agency Ogilvy has subsequently withdrawn its «Campaign against free music downloads»—which had won three Lions at Cannes—from the competition. This is because the ad materials had not yet been published due to a postponed release date.
The motifs were only placed at the end of June, too late to take part in the competition. However, the festival's press spokesperson, Amanda Benfell, rules out any intentional misconduct on the part of Ogilvy, as Wuv.de wrote on Friday. The agency now wants to submit the motifs again next year.
