The two U.S. cyber judges are Kevin Flatt, creative director of interactive at Fallon, and Sasha Kurtz, creative director of Dotglu. Last year P&G; sent a high-profile delegation of about two dozen executives from around the world to the ad festival in the south of France, generating intense interest in clients at Cannes. Previously marketers usually sent, if anyone, a couple European-based executives. This year, McDonald's Corp. plans to send a delegation of 20 or so staff to the ad festival, and festival management last month said there had been some provisional interest from Campbell Soup Co.
