Lion Report, Day 10: These ten tips to heed at Cannes Lions parties to avoid a lion hangover
True to the motto: "Judge hard, party hard", the relaxed part of Cannes Lions took place for the jurors this week. In other words: all the votes have been cast and almost all the award winners have been chosen - it was time to party hard!
And if there was ever a step up from Cannes parties, it was Cannes parties with creative minds. Juror Grischa Rubinick, Executive Creative Director at The House and experienced party animal, can tell you a thing or two about it. But everyone can learn from his experience. Next year too! Here are the ten best tips:
1. in good company
A party is always a journey into the unknown. You might meet some cool people, but you might also fall asleep at the sight of some of the guests. That's why you should go to the event with good colleagues or friends right from the start. That way, fun is guaranteed. And after all, someone has to carry you back to the hotel if you crash.
2. crème de la crème
30 degrees almost every day. Not a cloud in sight. You need a good sun cream and a Panama hat (the hat can also come from China). By the way, rubbing on rosé only works in the evening. At least the sunburn is forgotten.
3. never f**k the jury
Sun, beach, beautiful women. Flirting yes, but not with fellow jury members. It's just too bad that they don't immediately identify themselves as jury members at parties.
4. be online.
When the rosé and friends are no longer of any use, the only thing left to do is check your smartphone to see where the next party is. But beware: the roaming monster is also up to mischief in Cannes. It's best to get WLAN or organize une carte SIM.
5. be offline.
Do you do non-stop live streams via Periscope thanks to your local SIM card? You're the hero for the people watching. For the people at the party? The freak.
6. make friends.
The next rosé round is on me! And here they are. The friends. But paying for the rosé, even though it's free for everyone? That's not possible and it looks stupid. But... what the hell, they're all full anyway. The next round is on me.
7 Who should pay for it?
The next round is on you. But watch out! A six-liter magnum bottle has been ordered. With the bill, you'll become the bottle yourself, amateur!
8. clothes make loot
See and be seen. This is especially true for women. But men also have to make an impression. Unless you have a yacht in the harbor. Then the look doesn't matter at all. Leonardo DiCaprio knows that - #dadbod.
9th Hello Austria, good to be here in Cannes
You should already know where you are. And above all, what the place is called. We are in Cannes, pronounced: "Kann", and not in "Känn". But if you're in Cannes for Canon, then Cannes can, ... forget it!
10. oracles are loved
You already know who will win the Golden Lions? Then speak up. Even if it's just a guess. You'll be a hero. At least until the truth comes out - but by then you'll be on your way back to Switzerland anyway.
