The illustrious David Jones has been filmed in the Act Responsible Exposition (Palais des Festivals in Cannes) yesterday. He was attracted by the “Tck Tck Tck” machine: signing up for climate change. Every year, over 300,000 people die as a direct result of climate change. This number is set to rise every year unless we get our politicians to sign up to climate justice at the UN Climate Conference in Decembre 2009. Thus, it was an honor for our team to record and immortalize his “Tck”!

He was recently named Global CEO of Havas Worldwide, running <a href="Euro">www.adforum.com RSCG Worldwide</a>, Arnold Worldwide and all creative, marketing services and design companies throughout the global Havas network of 12,000 people and more than 250 offices.
