This campaign has all the things you'd expect to see in a Cannes winner. So congrats to the team on that level.

But I bet real people wouldn't understand it and it wouldn't actually sell the product.

Vraiment chouette, ça faisait un moment que je n'avais pas ri devant une pub. Le traité est vraiment bien. Félicitation

Great art.
The executions are cute and they make me smile, even though I don't really know how they relate to the product.

highlights a problem an offers no solution.

these aren't ads for people. it's ads for shows.

Cannes worthy? Isn't the point of advertising to sell to consumers, not dazzle them with clever ideas that are confusing? I had to sit and ponder these a while to even understand them. For someone that's not really familiar with the product, it makes no sense.
