Campaign Asia sets pace for Cannes coverage with APAC-first push

Live APAC win tracking, on-ground reporting and a new regional hub will form the backbone of Campaign Asia-Pacific’s Cannes 2026 coverage.

Cannes Lions is less than three months away, and we're already in planning mode.

This June, Campaign Asia-Pacific will return to the Croisette with comprehensive festival coverage built specifically for this region that will live in one place: a dedicated APAC hub that pulls together the wins, voices, insights and activations that matter most to audiences here, whether you're in the south of France or following the action from your desk in Singapore, Sydney or Seoul.

Before the festival gets underway, we hand the floor to the region's leading creatives. Our Cannes Contenders series, a Campaign Asia-Pacific fixture and perennially one of our most-read pre-festival features, invites them to champion the campaigns they think will shine on the Croisette. The ambitious, inventive and original work coming out of the region never disappoints. 

On the ground in Cannes, our editors will be doing what they do best: a live APAC wins tally, Grand Prix deep dives, real-time coverage of the big tech announcements and industry debates that tend to define the week, and the editor's diary—a frank, first-person read on the mood, contradictions and moments that don't make the press releases.

Campaign House, our dedicated venue on the Croisette, will host panels and fireside chats with some of the industry's most recognisable names, alongside partner activations, networking sessions and the cocktail gatherings. Editorial teams from the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Asia-Pacific will all be in the building, as will our stablemates PRWeek, MM&M and Performance Marketing World.

We'll also roll out a podcast series with our network of global editors, including an episode recorded live from Cannes, offering immediate analysis and a cross-market perspective. 

And if you're heading to Cannes this year, whether you're a brand, agency, media owner or adtech and martech company, we'd love to hear what you have planned. Get in touch with the team as we build out our festival coverage.
