VIDEO: What we learned at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity

Core Media sent a 10-strong delegation to the summit and came back brimming with ideas

15,000 delegates attended Cannes creative conference

This year, Dublin based media communications group Core Media descended on the Cannes Lions Festival in force.

The 10-strong team were all ears at the French creative event, where this year's key themes were the tipping point for virtual reality and artificial intelligence, data as a collaborator for creativity and a continued drive to put purpose at the heart of a brand's marketing strategy.

As usual, the glitzy conference – attended by over 15,000 delegates from over 100 countries– didn't disappoint with its heady mix of inspiration, celebration, education and networking.
