    LONDON --

    The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has named nine new Track Ambassadors, tasked with representing the Festival Tracks. The Ambassadors will play a key role for Cannes Lions, helping to steer the future direction of the Festival. They will spearhead, safeguard and advise on their focused Track across the Lions Awards, Festival content program and related industry agendas.

    The Cannes Lions Tracks–Reach, Communication, Craft, Experience, Innovation, Impact, Good, Health and Entertainment–were launched in 2018 to illustrate the core disciplines that underpin the global branded communications industry. The Tracks provide a structure to enable the creative communications community to better navigate the Awards, talks and learning experiences, as well as Cannes Lions expanding digital platform.

    Simon Cook, managing director, Cannes Lions, said, “As the global benchmark for creative excellence, the Lions are a retrospective of the best creative work from around the world, while also setting the future agenda. The Tracks provide a forward-facing overview of what the industry will look like over the coming year and beyond. Our Track Ambassadors will play a critical role, helping us to better reflect the industry and to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead.”

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."
