Man I really hope my C suite gives me some kind of video summary of Cannes, from Cannes. And tells me how excited for the future of the industry they are. It just makes me feel like I’m there! Hopefully delivered in a town hall meeting with some lukewarm office rosé too :)

I have so much respect for a former boss of mine, who dreaded it every year, hated it when he was there, and returned with a new level of loathing afterwards.

The gossip he shared afterwards made me feel both included and delighted that I didn’t have to go myself.

Haha, this was a couple of years ago, so it would be pretty stale gossip.

Mostly which senior guys got inappropriately drunk, the industry “elders” throwing their weight around, and “thought leaders” being self-involved windbags.
