New CEO for Cannes

In the wake of this year's Cannes Lions Advertising Festival, Emap Communications is strengthening its senior management team. Now in its 52nd year, the Festival has grown significantly in recent years and Emap believes there is still opportunity for further growth.

The first step in this process is the promotion of Cannes Lions' CEO, Terry Savage, to the role of Executive Chairman. Savage will be a guiding force in the Festival's continued future development.

A new CEO will be appointed to support Savage and to ensure a clear succession plan is in place for the future.

Malcolm Gough, Group Managing Director of Emap Business International, says: "This is an exciting time for Cannes Lions and we are looking forward to appointing a strong leader to take the Festival into its next stage of growth."
