What does it mean to you to be representing the UK at Cannes Lions this summer? 

Representing the UK at Cannes goes beyond our expectations. We are so thankful to be given the opportunity to really test our skills and take part in the global competition. Winning the national competition was a big achievement in itself and we are really excited to continue this adventure.

 

The Competition brief was to choose one or more of the below objectives to create a compelling case that will move the timeTo campaign forwards.

  • To find new ways to encourage more companies to sign up to the timeTo Code of Conduct and to show how a company plans to embed the Code into its organisation (as it is not enough to merely sign up as a token gesture)
  • To call on the existing companies who have signed up to the Code to demonstrate how they are actively implementing the code in their organisations or how they plan to
  • To fully empower the victims of sexual harassment and educate them on where and how they can get support
  • To encourage a culture where sexual harassment of any kind simply is not acceptable and, by doing so, support witnesses or bystanders to call it out as such without fear of reprisal
