🌞 From La Croisette with Love: My #CannesLions24 Highlights🌞 This was my 12th and hands down BEST CANNES EVER!!. Being there ‘untethered’ I escaped meeting madness for the freedom to dive headfirst into the amazing wealth of content and immerse myself in the sea of innovation on show. It was pure joy networking to make new connections and checking in with many longtime industry friends against the stunning backdrop of a conference on the beach ⛱ Suffice to say I've returned with my batteries fully charged, energized, and motivated for another exciting year in the industry I love! A few of my standout moments: 💡 WACL (Women in Advertising & Communications Leadership ) Empower Café: A brilliant celebration of our industry’s female talent with daily lineup of top speakers their stories. I was honoured to join a panel of fabulous female leaders for Adform future of identity debate. 👒 Girl Crush Alert: Being in the room with the ever-elegant Elizabeth Herbst-Brady! A formidable leader who champions female talent and arguably was the best-dressed lady in Cannes.  EHB’s insights from Yahoo’s Beyond in Cannes session were gold, sharing "Prioritization of focus" was her secret sauce. 🛥 Nurture Island Lunch: An event with no agenda focused on forging new friendships. Conversations were a delicious mix of deeply emotional and brilliantly funny. We all opened up and shone their true selves, I am in awe Gemma Greaves Dan Cresta for what you created 🙏 🌍 Championing #Sustainability: A topic close to my heart and delighted to be able add my voice to the discussions. Kicking off on Monday, I hosted the AIXLIVE The 614 Group AI & Sustainability in Video panel at Microsoft Beach with the brilliant minds from EscalaX, VideoHeroes, and Wurl. I wrapped up the week with the Good-Loop team, #GARM and Ad Net Zero, diving into the new sustainability measurement framework. 📣 CNN’s Dinner: Hosted by CEO Mark Thompson who, when questions on the big debate with, Donald Trump shared how news organizations take risks to stay relevant. #QualityJournalism ⛵ Big Data Yacht: Hanging out with the super savvy sailing team from OnAudience. So proud to see a #Polish company making waves on the international scene. Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity2024, you were an absolute dream!
