The real world cup takes place in Cannes

While there may be a few awards handed out for the best ads in Cannes next week, the most important event takes place on the plage, with 16 nations, including Australia, taking part in the Cannes Lions Beach Football World Cup.  

So whose hands does Australia’s honour lie in?

Dr Mumbo can reveal that the Australian team list consists of:

  • Simone Bartolini
  • Ralph van Dijk
  • Nick Garrett
  • Damien Munday
  • Peter Horgan
  • Neil Robinson
  • Jim Curtis
  • Erwin Santoso
  • Ralph van Dijk
  • Hannes Ciatti
  • Mark Pejic
  • Danny Bass

A couple of things occur to Dr Mumbo about that list. First that the industry is leaning heavily on the media brawn of the likes of OMD’s Peter Horgan and Medicacom’s Mark Pejic.
