Mumbrella banned by awards organisers after news stories questioning credibility of entries
The organisers of the Cannes Lions and Spikes Asia have banned Mumbrella from attending this week’s Festival of Creativity in Singapore.
An email which appears to have been sent to Mumbrella by mistake, implies that the reason for the ban is because the organisers want to use publicity from a ban in order to gain “leverage”.

Here we go again, the stench of burning martyr
Here we go again. The stench of scam apologists.
This is going to be good.
Being sent it by accident is A+
Popping the popcorn, cracking a Diet Coke and settling in for the fun…
maybe being sent it ‘by mistake’ is part of a next level PR campaign?
Maybe your response should be to go to the rarely seen ‘triple level’ and not reported this at all
ah Cannes Lions, the FIFA of advertising.
only 7 comments? oh c’mon!
I’ve never understood the appeal of these circle jerk awards shows.
Just industry self congratulating.
