Major Cannes Lions Contract Renewed

Cheerful Twentyfirst to Produce Stagwell's Sport Beach at Cannes Lions 2025

Aeorema Communications plc (AIM: AEO) is delighted to announce that its brand experience agency, Cheerful Twentyfirst, has been reappointed by Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) to produce SPORT BEACH at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity ('Cannes Lions') in June 2025. This marks the third consecutive year of event partnership between Stagwell Global ('Stagwell'), TEAM (Stagwell Experiential Agency) and Cheerful Twentyfirst.

Cheerful Twentyfirst collaborated with Stagwell and TEAM for the first time in 2023 to create SPORT BEACH; a two-storey, sand-to-stadium beach activation in Cannes. Following outstanding success in 2023 and 2024, including winning the Best Cannes Lions Brand Activation at the highly competitive Bizbash Awards (December 2024), SPORT BEACH returns for a third time in 2025 as the premiere destination for sport at Cannes Lions.

The 2025 event includes a reimagined structural design, expanded capacity, new interactive elements and an inspiring array of new brand partners and global athletes. SPORT BEACH promises to bring together athletes, marketers and global leaders under one roof; redefining sports, creativity, and culture at Cannes Lions once again.

Cheerful Twentyfirst is delighted to be supporting Stagwell, TEAM and Stagwell's wider network of agencies on the event production, audience strategy and technical live delivery of SPORT BEACH.

Steve Quah, CEO of Aeorema, commented: "After continued success and collaboration, it's fantastic to have our partnership with Stagwell and TEAM renewed for a third consecutive year. SPORT BEACH is the premier home for leaders at the intersection of sport, culture and brand building, and the 2025 iteration will elevate this even further."
