Dancing with gorillas may not seem like logical advice, but it's exactly what Dr Shameen Prashantham advises you do to get your business off the ground - no actual animals involved, it's all about start-ups partnering with large companies, in particular multinational corporations, to their best advantage... Then, if you're looking for global inspiration, you're in luck because as of today, Cannes Lions 2015 officially kicks off. We've had a week of expectations and highlights of years past, now get ready, as Lions CEP Phillip Thomas says "The best is yet to come!" The Cannes Lions Pharma and Health & Wellness winners were announced on Saturday, and we also have all the finalist shortlists as soon as they're released, along with the award ceremony results and exclusive insights from Ann Nurock, attending as our first ever media correspondent on the ground in Cannes. Click through to our Cannes Special Section and don't forget to follow Ann on our Twitter account, as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages on the #bizatcannes hashtag for more!
