Take more interesting photos
To get noticed at Cannes you have to capture the
imagination of the world’s most creative people.

#canneslions

On Instagram, that means posting visually interesting
images that we care about, not spamming to a bunch
of #tags and hoping for the best.
This report is produced by Codec’s machine learning platform
that analysed the visual features and engagement of millions
of posts from the Cannes Lions since 2013.

Images that show you are having a great time

Event + ceremony shots
taken at night
Images taken at evening events like concerts or
award ceremonies do terribly!
•••

Poor lighting, flash and noise are common. Often
groups of people huddle around an experience
that the viewer can’t realte to.

Cannes is about meeting old and new friends

someone-u-know

Images of people outside in the sun having fun
perform well. Key visuals are groups, smiles and
the idea that everyone else is missing out.

Call out to the imagery of the Lions in an
interesting and creative way. These posts tell
people where you are but feel more genuine
than simply spamming the Cannes logo.

Trying to communicate a complicated message
with text and graphics on Instagram is a
disaster. Just put up some posters.

Abstract graphics with lots of text and logos,
including screenshots of web pages, are the
worst.
Normally a call to action for an event but
absolutely no one cares.
