The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity recently went down in the south of France. It's basically the biggest annual gathering of advertising, marketing, technology, entertainment, and brands on the planet. It’s also what many consider the Oscars of advertising.

Just as the ultimate Oscar is for Best Picture, the Cannes Lions equivalent is the Titanium Grand Prix. This award honors the industry's best ideas—those combining innovation, ingenuity, and results to serve as the pointy tip of the spear for where creative brand thinking should be headed.

When you think of the world’s most successful brands, you hear Apple, Google, Nike, Adidas, Coke, LVMH, and AB InBev. But this year’s Titanium winner was the Australian insurance brand Suncorp, for the work it did with the agency Leo Burnett Australia on a campaign called "Haven."

On this episode of Brand New World, hosts Jeff Beer and Grace Snelling are digging into how a company many of us have never heard of before just won the ad industry’s biggest prize, as well as highlighting some of our other favorite overall brand work right now.
