The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has announced the jury line-ups for the Dan Wieden Titanium Lions and the newly introduced Creative Brand Lions, ahead of the festival taking place June 22–26, 2026.
The Creative Brand Lion is a new category for 2026, described by the festival as recognizing brands that are building the systems, cultures, and capabilities that make world-class creative marketing repeatable — and the practices that translate creative potential into lasting business impact. The jury will be led by Marcel Marcondes, Global Chief Marketing Officer at AB InBev, and includes senior brand and creative leaders from across the industry.
The Dan Wieden Titanium Lions jury will be led by Chaka Sobhani, Global Chief Creative Officer at TBWA\Worldwide. The jury includes multiple former Cannes Lions Jury Presidents. In a historic first, Lebanon is represented on the Titanium jury.
