Helsinki, Finland, 6/10/2015 – Kurio, a Finnish Social Media Agency has for the last three years conducted research on what kind of social media marketing leads to success in the Cannes Lions Festival, the world's biggest annual awards show and festival for professionals in the creative communications industry.
