“Rendez-vous à Cannes !” The destination showcases its talents
An international campaign highlighting the talents of Cannes.
This creative choice “Rendez-vous à Cannes” is based on the brand’s strategic positioning “Cannes, where talents is expressed”.
To make this promise a reality, personalities recognized for their expertise are committed to making the city shine, in an ambassador logic.
The aim here is to highlight the know-how of the women and men who work for the city’s dynamism, thus contributing to its perpetual renewal.All professions in hospitality, culture, the arts or sport are or will be represented.
A network of Cannes talents has thus developed and will be highlighted through testimonials, portraits, videos, to give the world the desire to give… Rendez-vous à Cannes!
The campaign
A first phase of the campaign will be rolled out this autumn:
- Digital signage in Paris la Défense for 3 weeks and at Nice Côte d’Azur airport for 2 weeks
- Online advertising and social networks
- Media plan
The campaign will continue in spring 2024 with a scheme in London, and other operations in priority markets for Cannes.
“Cannes is proud of its talents, those who breathe new energy into our destination. With this “Rendez-vous à Cannes” campaign, we are highlighting the figures from all walks of life who shape our city, in hospitality, culture, the arts, business, sport, science…. Together, we value these personalities who embody our city, share their stories, portraits, and videos, and invite the world to join us… Rendez-vous à Cannes!”
