At the end of the first day at Connected Creativity, I hosted the Pub Quiz in the Experience Hub tent by the beach in Cannes. We got a little write-up in the MIPTV Show Daily News. I think we had about 15 different teams show up for a few drinks and to demonstrate their googling abilities. That’s right! Googling! Cheating was not only allowed, it was encouraged. With that in mind, a lot of the questions we used weren’t easily translated into simple Google queries. The prize was a big Magnum of champagne. For the life of me I can’t remember the winning team’s name — ‘Pink something’. They did very well getting 26 out of 30 answers correct.
The concept of a Pub Quiz was rather new to a lot of the international delegates so I did my best to make sure everybody got the idea. The Hub was packed — this was simply brilliant as the atmosphere really added to the experience. Thanks to the MIPTV and Connected Creativity team for inviting me to host the event!

“English” indeed, brilliant! The winners were from Tendu.tv & Canada’s PinkPom… who also went on to win one of Content 360’s 4 categories! Were you their good luck charm Ewan? 😉
Wow! That’s super news! I’m not sure if I was a charm though… Perhaps a slight impediment!
