The Roar of Young Lions

May 23, 2009 By David Burn Leave a Comment

Creatives under the age of 28 are competing to win a trip to Cannes to take part in the Young Lions contest at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.
To enter the challenge, teams were given 48 hours last week to make a commercial for Oxfam. The spots are now available on YouTube, and teams have been asked to help their spot go viral (a flawed notion IMO). As you might imagine, AdPulp is now being sent regular email inquiries about running spots made by various competitors.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17 (she went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time). Today, I live near Portland, Oregon and spend my days building brands for companies that matter.
