The pair from Juicebox and Moonsail won the Film category
Cathal Mongey (Juicebox) and Joe Wilkie (Moonsail) are off to Cannes to represent Australia on the world stage after winning the Film category of the Young Lions.
'Two years ago, I was an immigrant picking blueberries in Gingin. Now we get to represent Australia in Cannes.
That doesn't happen without an industry that genuinely supports people, and we've felt that support every step of the way'
Said Cathal.
'We are just two guys from independent agencies in WA and we feel that's why we won.
The WA market necessitates the need to be resourceful and adaptable to make the work happen - you can't just be a hurdler, you have to be a decathlete.
That's what will help us kick goals in Cannes'
Said Joe.
We can't wait to see how they fare in Cannes, and will be cheering on the pair who will be joined in Cannes by WA counterpart, Jamie Wyatt (Marketforce) in the PR category alongside his teammate AJ McGloughlin (Thinkerbell).
