DDB Paris: How To Spend A Week at Cannes Without Paying
This is exactly what 7 creatives from DDB Paris are doing. They contacted their clients to see if they would be willing to sponsor them on their trip to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity so they wouldn’t need to spend any money at all! Their travel expenses, food, living, drinking expenses have been paid by their clients. Truly genius!
The sponsors include almost all of their clients: phones from Telecom, outfits from the French Federation of Football, toiletries from Casio supermarkets, booze from Jim Bean, transportation from Minicars, sugar fixes from Chuba Chubs, and insurance from Alliance.
The name “Autarky” means living without the products we need to subsist. The creatives are forbade from having any other products aside from that which was provided to them. The Autarky Project is an amazing example of inspired ingenuity.
