CF Exclusive !! Shots Magazine Beach Party
June 21, 2008
Cannes Fringe got exclusive access to the best party in town again. The Shots party was as always rocking.
Great music, loads of people and a lot of dancing. Shame about the French bar staff who never heard of ice and lemon !! So we had to put up with warm and flat G&T’s all night. But hey thanks to our friends at shots we got ample supply of drink vouchers so we shouldn’t complain. We also bumped into Lyndy the editor of shots mag who was clearly enjoying the party as well….:)….
cheers guys.

The glamorous finish of the Golden Drum festival was the New Europe Award Ceremony and the Gala party afterwards. Cannes Fringe made it to get a Golden Drum award as well and we asked Donald Gunn, what a pre-premiere is!
Big night out at the Golden Drum

Advertising Women of Excellence Party
October 3, 2007
Honorees Shawn Lacy, Executive Producer & Co-Founder, Biscuit Filmworks, and Jennifer Golub, Director of Broadcast Content Production, Cutwater San Francisco, were on hand to take their bows, sip free drinks and have their rings kissed by the throng of sales reps, directors, editors and creative types clogging the crowded and coal mine dark Retreat bar in Manhattan’s Flatiron district.
The subject of the evening? “Which party to go on to next ?” Yes, Advertising Week in NYC again provided the locals with plenty of party options - offered up by fawning and wild eyed vendors of every stripe.
CannesFringe USA caught up with Regina Ebel, EVP Director of TV Production, BBDO NY, to discuss the need for more diversity in the Ad biz and what she and her company were doing about it. Ebel received last years’ inaugural Advertising Women of Excellence honours.
Unfortunately Mary Baglivo, CEO & Worldwide Marketing Director, Saatchi & Saatchi - also on this year’s list - was travelling and could not attend.
Jonathan Verk, Publisher of ‘Boards attempted to quiet the rabble in order to say a few words in honour of the 2007 Advertising Women of Excellence but the half bagged mass would have none of that.
Needless to say, a splendid time was had by all.
