BELIEVE THAT YOU CANNES!!!!
REWIND TO JUST OVER A WEEK AGO: MY BOSS SENDS ME THIS ARTICLE:
Campaign has partnered with GoDaddy, the world's largest cloud platform provider dedicated to small, independent ventures, to launch a competition offering five women in the creative technology space the opportunity to attend the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
I ENTER - NEVER ACTUALLY BELIEVING I WILL BE PICKED:
I enter my submission of 300 words about me, my job, my life and my passions, never thinking I would ever win.
Cannes is for the elite, the big cheeses, le grande fromage..
THEN YESTERDAY - OH F**K:
They picked me. Of all the entries and all the amazing creative women in the industry, they picked lil old ME.
Bowled over, excited, shocked, nervous, baffled, feeling a bit sick.
Then my husband and boss had the same reaction. F**k that's amazing. And then the sinking realisation of "oh shit Lolly is going away all next week how are we gonna sort out work/child/life" with 5 days notice.
Some amazing work from my husband, rallying the troups to arrange childcare and clear his schedule.
You'll be hearing and seeing lots more from me, from Cannes next week!! Meanwhile here's a shit Photoshop comp.
