Cannes Lions Wednesday: Nike More Than Just A Brand

cannes_lions_2012_jr.jpg-large

Are you in Cannes for Cannes Lions? Do you wish you were? Could you care less? In any case, we have our daily update for you whether you like it or not. So what happened in Cannes today?

Nike's Stefan Olander and R/GA's Bob Greenberg took the stage and explained to delegates that Nike is now an ecosystem, not just a brand that sells products. Nike has expanded to offer ongoing services like Fuelband that focus on continuous personal improvement.

And in other news for the day:

- To marketer seeking an agency, GSP's Linda Harless said one must know oneself thoroughly before they can find an agency that properly aligns with their interests and goals.

- Spotted: some genius copywriting on display.

- George St-Pierre and Justin Kingsley spoke to the importance of creativity. Even in sports.

- That Arnold bike...still popping up all over Le Croisette.

- Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, who may have ruffled a few feathers by saying Twitter is bigger than Cannes Lions, spoke to the importance of agility and the ability to quickly adapt in what is now a very fast-paced marketing environment.

- Artist JR discussed street art and how the creation of art in general requires a deep level of trust from your subject (ie. your agency) to succeed.

- R/GA has ditched the word "agency" from its nomenclature.

- Renren CEO Joe Chen, in a Cannes Lions profile video spoke to the differences in social networks between China and the rest of the world.

- Ethel wants us to drink her beer.

- Oh right. And WPP acquired AKQA.

It's Wednesday at Cannes Lions!

Yet another daily round up up the advertising industry's annual love fest with the South of France
