"It is our belief that the master storytellers of this generation will be renowned for their ability to weave creativity, insight and technology together in unique ways that engage consumers across an always-on landscape. This is the approach that we bring to helping our clients keep their brands in sync with their target customers, and this is the thinking that I'm proud to bring to my role with an elite group of mobile jurors."
"Cannes Lions is about offering attendees - whether new to the festival or longtime veterans - the ability to learn and truly be inspired by visionary leaders in their respective industries," said Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions. "Gaston's forward-thinking insights and creative approach in redefining storytelling for the always-on world will provide a fresh perspective on the most cutting-edge developments in the mobile space, and we look forward to welcoming him and all jurors to Cannes in June."
