Cannes Lions, with Ogilvy

Ogilvy’s private receptions during Cannes Lions. A different musical direction for each evening, and a collaboration renewed across editions.

01

A client who came back

Ogilvy booked FLANKER for its private receptions during Cannes Lions in 2025 and again in 2026. These were private agency receptions on the Croisette. The bookings included the DJ performance, sound system and ambient lighting, with playing hours and installation planned for each date.

02

A direction for each evening

Across the three-evening format, the musical directions ranged from contemporary club to familiar popular tracks and a more relaxed selection. The idea was to offer a different atmosphere each night. FLANKER draws on both his house background and open-format repertoire to respond to those changes in brief.

03

Music with a purpose

For a brand or agency booking, the first question is what the reception is meant to do. A networking cocktail needs room for conversation; an afterparty calls for another pace. That distinction shapes FLANKER’s approach to corporate events. The musical direction, guest profile and any speaking moments are discussed with the organiser before the set is prepared.
