Priti Nair on why Cannes compels...

India has been shining bright at the Cannes lately. We have been picking up quite a few awards in the recent past and winning the right stuff. So, the hype that we are now seeing about Cannes and India making it big there is not unjustified. Our work is currently in focus and is being appreciated in the global advertising fraternity. Things have really changed for the Indian advertising agencies where 14 years ago people did not even know what you stood for and what you could showcase. They would come up to me and ask how can we speak such fluent English. Now they do not see India as one small country on the map and there eyes light up at our work. This is because they can now acknowledge what we are all about. I think it’s simply amazing. As for the people who get the chance to walk the red carpet and pick up some accolades, there life certainly changes as firstly, they become a focal point for attention and the adulation. There is an obvious celebration that happens for some time before getting back to work as usual. As Cannes happens only once a year, people usually push themselves to win and even our agencies encourage winners. Also, it’s a very nice feeling if you pick up an award for a regular brand; it pushes you in the right direction and encourages people to continue to do good work. Also, I think awards do add a lot of encouragement to the youngsters who are new in the industry, certainly more than the people who have been in the business for quite some time.
