FAIRFAX DROPS CANNES REPRESENTATION FOR AUSTRALIA - BUT NOT HERE

Fairfax Media in Australia has decided not to renew its representation role for Cannes and have formally advised Australia's Terry Savage (pictured), chairman of the Cannes Advertising Festival. However, the decision does not affect the role taken by Fairfax NZ (the company has a different ownership structure), which will continue to represent Cannes on behalf of New Zealand.
Savage told NZCC he was already talking to three large Australian media organisations keen to take up the glamorous role and might be able to announce an appointment within weeks.
