Don't see a shop that's catching fire? A brand-new indie can blow up out of nowhere — you can add any independent agency to your squad, not just the ones listed below.

Pick your agencies

Every stat below is each agency's 2025 Cannes Lions record — last year's form, to guide this year's picks.
Don't see your agency?
Add any independent shop. Write-ins start at $5M and are verified as genuinely indie before the festival — if they start winning, their value climbs.

Lock your team

You can change your team every day of the festival. Swap agencies or your captain any time, then re-lock — each day's picks lock at 16:00 CEST before the awards and reopen the next morning.

You're in the league

How scoring works. Your agencies score the same way the Indie Scoreboard counts — their own wins (Grand Prix 10, Gold 7, Silver 5, Bronze 3), credits on other winning work (4 / 3 / 2 / 1) and shortlists (1). Your captain's points double. Prices start from each agency's 2025 Cannes Lions performance and then climb with 2026 form — every shortlist and win this week lifts an agency's value (a Lion win moves it far more than a shortlist), so the hot picks cost more as the festival unfolds. This is a free game for entertainment only — not gambling. There is no purchase, no betting, and no wagering; the only prize is bragging rights. Questions: zanger@indieagency.news
