Special books spot in exclusive shortlist

CANNES, Today: The Cannes Lions most prestigious award, a Dan Wieden Titanium Lion, has released its shortlist for 2023, with Special New Zealand scoring a spot on the exclusive list.

Of the finalists in the Titanium category, Special’s Last Performance campaign for Partners Life is New Zealand’s only nomination. 

The next stage of judging will see two members of the Special team present their work to the jury and festival delegates, live in Cannes in two weeks.

“Special was the sole NZ agency to make the cut.”

Special NZ ECD Lisa Fedyszyn said: “Cannes is obviously the biggest and best award show in our industry and Titanium Lions are an incredibly hard award to even get shortlisted for.

“You know you’re up against the best of the best, so we’re excited to be spoken about in the same sentences as these other finalists and look forward to having the chance to present Last Performance to the jury.”
