BACK TO BASICS AT CANNES
By Susan Perolls, Cannes Correspondent for theMarketingblog (from a series of events and interviews across Day One of Cannes Innovation Festival)
As Cannes Lions welcomes its mini Innovation Festival for the second year, it’s interesting to hear speakers telling us that, while the elements that make up innovation (data x tech x ideas) are driving the changes and growth in the industry, there is also a ‘back to basics’ mentality in the minds of senior practitioners.

This is so awesome. Twitter brought a drone to Cannes and is flying it overhead to capture Cannes in a manner unlike we've seen before. It captured Patrick Stewart outside the Palais on Sunday and it's been traveling up and down La Croisette capturing the sights.
According to Digiday's Brian Morrisey, seagulls were seen attacking the drone and he wonders just how long it will be before it loses that battle.
