Media companies are blowing the party budget at the Cannes Lions advertising festival, where they are outdoing each other to bring in celebrities to add stardust to their events.
Poster outfit Clear Channel enlisted Mariah Carey to sing at its private bash last night and Spotify had dance group Basement Jaxx at its party. Singer Courtney Love turned up at Facebook’s event and Kanye West spoke, rather than rapped, on stage at a Cannes panel discussion.
That’s as rock ’n’ roll as the ad industry gets. But there is dismay as Gisele Bundchen has pulled out of events tomorrow at short notice.
Set-list from the event:
* We Belong Together
* Always Be My Baby
* Cry
* Touch My Body
* I’ll Be There
* You Don’t Know What To Do
* Vision of Love
* Emotions
* Hero
