CF at the Werbeweischer Party
June 24, 2008
Cannes Fringe got exclusive access to the Werbeweischer Party again and spoke to the man himself Florian Weischer about Cannes 08 and the success of the German ad industry.
Speaking of German success we also happen to see the German football team do one over Ronaldo and his mates… 
Nice. Someone also tells us why the Germans are not only good a building cars and also have a sense of humor. Not so sure about that one.. Hell I am German but when it comes to funny ads you got to hand it to the British. But I take football anytime.
Check it out….
Fireflies arrive in Cannes 2008
June 23, 2008
Once again the mighty Fireflies did it again.
This time it was over 70 riders. What started with a handful of people 8 years ago has turned into an amazing event. So far they raised over £ 600,000 for Leuka. All the money goes straight into Leukaemia and cancer research and every single rider has to give it everything to make it over these mountains. Cannes Fringe as always has brought you daily films of the trip and we hope that once you see these films it will only encourage you to go and donate as much as you can yourself.

Well done Fireflies.
China hits Cannes (Fringe Exclusive !!!)
June 16, 2008
C.H.I.N.A at Cannes 08
The party was held on the Carlton beach, and apart from the door staff being over energetic and stopping some very important folk in, such as one big shot from Mindshare - who eventually stormed off in a huff, the actual event inside looked a right proper success.
Saatchi & Saatchi China, supported by our new friends at Publicis PR put on the event to highlight and welcome the emerging Chinese advertising market, and Terry Savage was there too to welcome eastern delegates to the festival, and to rightly point out to us how we should all start to look east for fresh inspiration and new opportunities.
As to our comments on the event, it all looked good from the fringe, the location was top notch the people seemed to be all talking energetically and business seemed to be getting done. So lets all join in and say a big Cannes welcome to our new Chinese Advertising friends.
