Cannes has elected Y&R s global CEO David Sable to helm the first ever Creative Data Lions while R/GA global chief creative officer Nick Law will lead the expanded Innovation Lions, which honour innovative, brand-aligned ideas, business solutions and advertising technologies. The Lions Innovation Festival takes place on 25 - 26 June 2015, during Cannes Lions.

Cannes Lions chairman Terry Savage said that both categories would be in the spotlight in 2015, and that selecting the right presidents would play a key role in their success. The significant planning and consultation which has gone into category development for Lions Innovation demanded equally careful consideration of who would lead judging. In David and Nick we have the epitome of acknowledged, awarded industry innovators and our juries could be in no better hands, commented Savage.

Sable believes data is an essential tool to balance creativity and innovation in order to drive stories through the right channels and is known as an early digital entrepreneur. Sable said, The smart use of data illuminates, enlightens and informs. It helps create. It is not about aggregating numbers - it s about understanding people. So, when we judge (Creative Data Lions) entries, we will look for a meaningful correlation between the data and its ultimate creative expression. This is going to be an exciting expedition to uncharted ground.

Law added, Today, thanks to the power and pace of change, we can apply creativity to the technology itself. The Innovation Lions will recognize people at the vanguard of this golden age of possibilities; people whose inventive spirit is changing the world and redefining what it means to have a game-changing idea.
