From Jay Kay finally grabbing what he was reaching for, to a leaky Fiat that became the Sistine Chapel.

This weeks most memorable.

This week's Most Memorable comes with a Cannes Lions 2026 twist. From three Grand Prix winners to the bits we loved on the ground at the Croisette.

01 — Campaign

Thirty years Jay Kay's been sliding across that white room reaching for something.
Turns out it was an alcohol-free gin.
Beefeater 0.0 and Lucky Generals finally let him grab the bottle — nine practical sets, no CGI, no AI. The best sequel to a question nobody was asking.

02 — Book

131 exercises to help you pay attention again. Not in a mindfulness-app, deep-breath sort of way. More like remembering how to actually look at things. The kind of book that makes you annoyed you didn't write it. Grab your copy here.

03 — Design

This guy's Fiat Panda roof was leaking. So obviously the only solution was to recreate a 500-year-old fresco on the ceiling. The original — the Hall of the Giants in Palazzo Te, painted by Giulio Romano in the 1530s — shows Jupiter smiting a bunch of giants trying to storm Mount Olympus. Very normal thing to have above your head while parallel parking. 10/10 response to a leaky roof and design points from us.

04 — Brand

Coca-Cola just unified their entire visual identity across 200+ markets. One red. One ribbon. One script. Not a rebrand. A tightening. The most recognised brand in the world deciding it still wasn't recognisable enough.

05 — Event

A guided walk around the NOMA Gardens in Manchester with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. You learn which bees like which flowers, how to tell species apart, and yes they do catch a few for a closer look. Free. Outdoors. 30 July. Exactly the kind of thing you say you'll go to and then don't. Make this one the one you go to here.
