UAE says ‘Cannes-Do' to the ‘impossible'; creates conversations on the Croisette
For the second year in a row, the UAE Government Media Office has attracted incredible attention at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, with several hundred delegates, attendees and passers-by seen raising their phones to scan the QR Code on a massive billboard that read: 'An ad without a logo. There's only one country that would do something that risky.' Positioned perfectly at the busiest entry points within the heart of the Palais, and on the glass façade overlooking the Croisette, these billboards played on the inherent curiosity of the global creative, brand, marketing and advertising industry. Several similar billboards located within the Palais and along the Croisette also drew eyeballs. Campaign Middle East overheard conversations of the 'bold' and 'disuptive' ads from those who stood watching these billboards while waiting patiently in long queues – in the hopes to lay eyes on global celebrities such as Serena Williams, Jimmy Fallon and Reese Witherspoon. Many visitors and attendees at Cannes Lions raised the question about 'what it would be like to work in a country that is daring enough to have billboards that read': 'If ideas don't seem impossible, we're not interested.' 'You didn't get into this business to resize banners. Let's fix that.' 'Where ideas go from 'nice deck' to 'next landmark'.' Commenting on the campaign, Khaled AlShehhi, Executive Director of Marketing and Communication at the UAE Government Media Office, said, 'The UAE Government Media Office returned with louder confidence and sharper intent, taking over the Palais and the Croisette with bold, pointed headlines that did more than catch the eye.' He added, 'The strategically placed outdoor and indoor billboards didn't ask for attention. They earned it. But beyond scale or design, it was the tone that turned heads: not promotional, not ceremonial, but culturally fluent. Made for the creative crowd, by a country that now speaks their language fluently.' With an approach that included out-of-home (OOH) static billboards, digital-out-of-home (DOOH) billboards, and indoor billboards, the campaign created in collaboration with Impact BBDO, was also rolled out across some print publications. Furthermore, the campaign also showed up on digital and social channels as a result of user-generated content (UGC) at Cannes Lions 2025. Reacting to the buzz around the campaign, Ghassan Kassabji, CEO Dubai, CGO MENA, Impact BBDO said, 'The UAE didn't just show up at Cannes Lions. It showed the world what it stands for. If ideas don't seem impossible, they're not enough. This was a bold invitation to dream bigger, do more, and do it from the Emirates.' Ali Rez, Chief Creative Officer, Impact BBDO, added, 'We are beyond proud to have the opportunity to create this bold campaign for the UAE, a place which has always inspired us with its vision of making the impossible possible.' That said, Campaign Middle East also spoke to agency leaders who were not involved in the campaign. For instance, Natalie Shardan, Managing Partner, Serviceplan Group Middle East, and a jury member at Cannes Lions 2025, said, 'If there were a Grand Prix for turning the impossible into reality, the UAE would win it hands down.' She added. 'After 20 years of calling this place home, the UAE's relentless ambition – regionally and on the global stage – still leaves me in awe. And, as someone leading an advertising agency, I know bold messages like this don't just inspire – they attract ambitious creative minds who want to turn possibility into action.' This campaign also closed the loop on 'Bring Your Impossible': The platform launched by the Emirates at Cannes Lions 2024. What began as a campaign has since evolved into a narrative that continues to unfold: A narrative that calls on creators, founders and thinkers to go beyond ambition and move into execution. And, this year, that message was not only reinforced on the streets; but also within the Cannes Lions 2025 jury rooms. Khaled AlShehhi was selected as a PR Lions juror marking a quiet shift in how the UAE is showing up at the highest levels of creative influence. 'We didn't come to Cannes to be seen,' AlShehhi said. 'We came to be part of the conversation on the stage, in the jury room, and on the streets. Our message is simple: if you have an impossible idea, you'll find your partner in the Emirates.' The UAE's presence at Cannes Lions 2025 was further boosted by several UAE-based brands, government entities, and agencies that were seen engaging in the form of panels and partnerships throughout the festival. Additionally, FP7 McCann Dubai, Impact BBDO, VML Dubai and LEO Dubai picked up the coveted metal cat trophies at the Cannes Lions Awards 2025, adding credibility to the Emirates on the global creative stage. There's no doubt about it: These ads weren't just seen; they were felt. They didn't promote; they provoked. They didn't sell; they were invited. They didn't follow; they set a standard. 'And the message was clear,' AlShehhi concluded. 'The Emirates are open for ideas as long as those ideas are impossible.'

‘Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Teases That a Player Will Learn the Front Man's Identity in Season 3
At least one of the players in 'Squid Game' is going to learn the identity of the Front Man in Season 3. That's not TheWrap spilling; that's straight from the mouth of series star Lee Byung-hun, who stopped by 'The Tonight Show' on Tuesday night to tease what's ahead in the last season of the Netflix juggernaut. For the uninitiated, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is the masked man who orchestrates the Squid Game, a series of deadly children's games. If a player wins these challenges, they walk away with 456 billion won, but they have to survive against 455 other players to take home that reward. Seasons 2 and 3 of 'Squid Game' follows last season's winner Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who re-enters the game in the hopes of bringing it down from the inside. Lee's Front Man also covertly entered the game in Season 2 as In-ho, a man saddled with his wife's medical bills who befriends the unwitting Gi-hun. In the middle of his interview with Lee, Jimmy Fallon pulled out two buttons that looked identical to the ones used in the show. In 'Squid Game,' those buttons are used so players can vote on whether or not they want to go to the next deadly challenge. But on 'The Tonight Show,' Fallon used them to get Season 3 answers from Lee. 'Do more players learn your identity in Season 3?' Fallon asked Lee. After debating for a second, Lee pressed the O button, meaning yes. The rest of the game was more ambiguous. Given the twisting nature of this show, Lee's answers could truly mean anything. When asked if the Front Man will play any games in Season 3, Lee pressed both the X and O buttons. He pressed both again when asked, 'Is someone else in charge of the Squid Game besides the Front Man?' 'We know there will be new games, but do any old games return?' Fallon then asked. As Lee paused, Fallon joked, 'If you hit both again, I swear.' Lee then proceeded to hit both buttons with one hand, which felt like a Front Man power move. But Lee did have a definite answer for Fallon's last question. 'Could we see a Front Man spinoff one day?' the NBC host asked. For that one, Lee pressed O. Watch the full interview below. The post 'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Teases That a Player Will Learn the Front Man's Identity in Season 3 | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

‘Squid Game's Lee Byung-Hun Teases Frontman Spinoff On ‘Tonight Show' Appearance
Lee Byung-Hun, who plays The Frontman in Squid Game, made his Tonight Show debut and teased some details about the third and final season of the Korean smash hit series as well as a possible spinoff. When asked by Jimmy Fallon whether there will be a Frontman spinoff, Byung-Hun answered positively using the infamous voting buttons on the show. He did quickly follow that up by saying, 'There is a possibility we'll never knows what happens.' More from Deadline Nate Bargatze Admits He's 'Nervous' To Host Emmys In 'Late Show' Spot 'The Daily Show' Has Some Fun With Its Very Own Pedro Pascal Tom Segura's 'Bad Thoughts' Renewed For Season 2 By Netflix The Frontman plays a more integral role in seasons two and three as the show's protagonist, Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), continues to fight to stop the murder of hundreds of people for the whims of the VIPs. The third season, which returns to Netflix on June 27, picks up from the season two cliffhanger as Gi-hun is dealing with the loss of his closest ally Jung-bae and deals with the impact of the Frontman infiltrating the rebellion as a player. Byung-Hun admitted that he didn't know whether the show would be a hit. 'When I first read the script, it was a very interesting story with a very unique structure but at the same time it was experimental so I thought either it'd be a huge hit or a complete flop,' he added. He also revealed that he didn't tell people close to him that he was even in the show. 'Netflix asked me to keep it as a secret so I didn't say it to anyone, my close friends or my mom. One day after Squid Game opened and yelled at me and said 'How could you not tell me?',' he said. Byung-Hun has had a long career in South Korea but has also appeared in a number of Hollywood movies including playing Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and its sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation, starring alongside Bruce Willis in Red 2, playing T-1000 in Terminator Genisys and Billy Rocks in The Magnificant Seven. He compared walking in the Frontman outfit to playing a ninja like he did in G.I. Joe. 'Squid Game is a Korean story by a Korean director with Korean actors and Korean language so when I first came to L.A. and New York for Squid Game, I was so shocked by the fans' reaction. I'm so proud of it,' he added. A Frontman spinoff, if indeed creator Director Hwang would want to do it, would be the latest addition to the Squid Game universe. David Fincher is also developing a U.S. remake of the series.
