Serhiy Biloshitskyy, Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi Ukraine, has been appointed to the jury of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The festival will take place in Cannes from 22 to 26 June 2026.

He will serve on the Sustainable Development Goals category — the same category in which Saatchi & Saatchi Ukraine won Ukraine’s first Golden Lion in 2025 for the Minefield Honey project, according to Publicis Groupe Ukraine. In this category, the jury traditionally assesses creative approaches to solving social and global challenges.

The festival organisers noted that this year’s jury reflects the “increasing diversity of voices” shaping the global creative industry. It includes representatives from independent agencies, brands and creative markets from various regions of the world, including Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.

Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity takes place annually in France and recognises winners across various categories in advertising, design and communications.

The festival is considered the world’s largest gathering of designers, marketers and other advertising industry professionals.
