Sex, Lies and Video Submissions

In this thought-provoking episode of Ugly, Irresponsible, and Childish, Marc and Jeremy pull back the curtain on the marketing industry’s premiere award show, wondering if it should be called Cannes Lions or Con Lions, debating how 10 mere humans can judge 1,500 entries, each with more impressions than Starbucks has beans.

The hosts share personal experiences and insights about the pressure to obtain these accolades and the ethics involved in award entries. They challenge the norm and call for a reevaluation of what these awards represent, encouraging listeners to consider if the effort and resources spent on award submissions could be better allocated.

Join Marc and Jeremy as they critically assess the impact of awards on client relationships, agency reputation, and the broader industry, while humorously dissecting the biases and truths lurking beneath the shiny surface of award trophies.
