O Festival Internacional de Criatividade Cannes Lions, que acontecerá entre 22 e 26 de junho de 2026, anunciou os nomes dos Presidentes dos Júris para este ano, destacando três brasileiros entre os escolhidos.
Rafael Gil, chief creative officer da Artplan; Rafael Pitanguy, deputy global chief creative officer da VML; e Marcel Marcondes, chief marketing officer global da AB InBev, assumem a liderança nas bancadas de júri.
Marcel Marcondes será o primeiro presidente do júri da nova categoria Creative Brand, que estreia este ano, enquanto Gil ficará à frente da bancada de Industry Craft, e Pitanguy liderará Brand Experience & Activation.
A edição de 2026 também marca a ampliação de categorias e critérios. Craft passa a contar com uma subcategoria dedicada a trabalhos que combinam criatividade humana e inteligência artificial. Creative Strategy e Creative Data ganham recortes voltados a Retail Media. Outra novidade é o lançamento da plataforma Cannes Lions Sport, voltada à discussão sobre a intersecção entre esporte, cultura e comunicação, reunindo marcas, agências e atletas.
