    Cannes Lions Honors David Droga with The Lion of St. Mark

    David Droga, founder, of Droga5 advertising agency headquartered in New York City. Since founding the agency in 2006, Droga has served as its creative chairman

    Award for outstanding contribution to the creative industry

    LONDON -- (SPW) --

    The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has announced that David Droga, Founder & Creative Chairman of Droga5, will be honoured with the Lion of St. Mark award at this year’s Festival.

    David Droga is one of the most awarded creatives at Cannes Lions. He won his first Lion aged 19 and has achieved more than 70 Gold and 15 Grand Prix / Titanium Lions in his career to date.

    “The Lion of St. Mark recognises an individual who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to creativity in our industry,” said Jose Papa, Managing Director of Cannes Lions. “His drive, passion and unbounded creative skill has led him to deliver continual award-winning results. He’s set the global standard.”

    David Droga commented, “I have worked with more talented people and had more opportunities than one creative person deserves. The Lion of St. Mark honour is beyond my wildest ambitions. It’s incredible to be recognised with this, when you still feel you have so much more to do and prove. But I will soak it up with pride and humility.”

    At 22, David Droga became a Partner and Executive Creative Director of OMON Sydney and in 1996, he moved to Singapore to become Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore and Regional Creative Director of Saatchi Asia. At age 29, Droga was promoted to Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi London, and under his charge, they were awarded, for the first time, Agency of the Year at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 1996.

    In 2003 Droga became the first-ever Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of the Publicis Network in New York. In less than two years, Publicis enjoyed a very public creative and new business renaissance around the world. Restless to launch his own agency, David founded Droga5 in New York City in 2006. In just over ten years, Droga5 has seen unprecedented success and become one of the most revered and influential agencies on the planet, including back-to-back accolades as Cannes Lions Independent Agency of the Year in 2015 and 2016.

    David Droga will be presented with the Lion of St. Mark during the Festival awards ceremony on Saturday 24 June. Droga will also be speaking on the Cannes Lions stage on Friday 23 June.

    Cannes Lions offers an annual meeting place for the global creative communications industry and takes place from 17-24 June 2017 in Cannes, France. Further information can be found at www.canneslions.com.

    Sound Lounge Welcomes Mixer and Sound Designer Nicole Pettigrew

    Mixer and Sound Designer Nicole Pettigrew

    Sound Lounge has expanded its commercial roster with the addition of mixer and sound designer Nicole Pettigrew, who brings more than a decade of experience, a passion for sound design and a highly collaborative approach to her work. Pettigrew joins Sound Lounge following five years at PS260, where she established and led the company's in-house audio department as its sole audio engineer. Her work spans campaigns for brands including American Express, MLB, T-Mobile, New Balance, Titleist, David Yurman and DraftKings. She also mixed Gucci's 2024 AICP Best in Show-winning campaign. Prior to PS260, Pettigrew spent nine years at PLUSHnyc. A lifelong musician, Pettigrew brings a musical ear to her work and particularly gravitates toward projects that allow her to experiment with sound. Her approach pairs a traditional studio foundation rooted in listening, communication and client experience with an eagerness to explore new ideas and push the creative possibilities of a project. “The best sessions feel like a real collaboration,” says Pettigrew. “I want clients to feel like I’m part of their team, listening to their vision and then interpreting it, building on it and helping push the idea further. You’re handed all of these individual pieces, and I love the problem-solving that goes into figuring out how they fit together. There’s something really satisfying about getting to the end, stepping back and realizing you helped bring someone’s idea fully to life.” Pettigrew's arrival also reunites her with Sound Lounge...
