Last week Hyper Island sent a few co-workers to Cannes, a letter got sent back home: Here's what they wrote:
"We had one mission; to get to know as many new people as possible. Well, maybe a mission and a half: we also wanted to have some fun. We did both!
We congratulated of our friends, winning lion after lion, we had drinks with amazing people from all over the world, we had chats with agencies on how to change the world of communication. We talked about Hyper Island in New York, in Sweden, in Australia, in South Africa. In Norway, in Manchester, in LA, in.... well, basically everywhere. We talked to Spike Jonze when we were at the screening of his new short story, I'm here - A love story in an Absolut world, by our friends at TBWA\Chiat\Day, New York.
- We hugged Bob Greenberg , and took a photo of it,
- We mingled through the Massive Music Party...
I'm so glad we did all of this, because we met a lot of new friends, we had a lot of fun, and we spread the word about Hyper Island. I hope I'll get to see you all in Cannes next year, accepting your lions, enjoying the sun or networking like crazy."
