So proud but still so driven.

Very happy to have played a very small part in this calling for this to happen, well played B Lab for doing the right thing 👏 I’m a massive advocate for B Corp and a massive advocate for the biggest organisations in (all) industries using the B Impact Assessment ‘tool’ to transform. Yet Havas totally took total liberties here. Having spoken to a number of clients (and employees) of Havas who are rightly shopping about right now - I certainly wouldn’t want to be in their reputational risk or people & culture teams at this moment 👀 And it doesn’t just stop with Havas, network agencies globally are totally under threat. Yes they have size, heritage and media buying power - 🛥️ and can afford a banging boat at Cannes 🛥️ - but if forward leaning clients don’t want to be associated to you because of your client list, and your best talent is jumping ship - surely the best strategic business direction is to take advise from an organisation like Clean Creatives and get your house in order. But what about the stability of employment for existing employees? I can’t imagine the outgoings of a network agencies IT costs, let alone their primo location global offices - but ‘not taking the brief’ doesn’t just protect the agencies reputation - built from hundreds of thousands of hours of brilliant strategic and creative minds collaborating to drive remarkable communications - it also protects the hundreds if not thousands of jobs that will be lost from ‘natural churn’ and clients hitting the eject button. Big news for B Corp, big news for agencies. #Agency #Greenwash #BCorp

So proud but still driven.

It’s started! Cannes Lions has kicked off its annual festival today, celebrating the very best of the industry’s creativity. W is extraordinarily proud to have won 16 Cannes Lions campaigns to date, and this year, we are very excited to ALREADY be up for 7 more – for longstanding clients Marmite and Pot Noodle, with further shortlists still to be announced in the coming days! Creativity is of course key to campaign excellence. But creativity counts for nothing if no-one sees it. Fame therefore continues to be one of THE most important metrics, and our role is pivotal in creating and measuring that fame. Harnessing the power of earned media to generate brand fame is at the heart of what makes campaigns so successful. In a world obsessed with social media, the impact of anchor news media and marquee broadcast coverage is greater than ever. Trusted media continue to provide the most powerful measure of national zeitgeist; an accurate barometer of cultural currency and social conversation. Our job is to ensure that earned media channels are talking about our clients' campaigns – and when they do, we know that the campaign has made it! We are so proud to work alongside the teams at Unilever and adam&eveDDB on these incredible campaigns for Marmite and Pot Noodle, and we can’t wait to see how the week unfolds! #Cannes #Earnedmedia #Media #PR #Campaigns

“No Silo, No Solo, No Bozo” - the internal mantra when then-CEO Maurice Lévy kicked off Publicis’ new model in 2016, emphasizing a promise of centralization. 👨💼 At the Cannes Lions of that year two holding company giants, Publicis Groupe and Dentsu, both promised the same thing, streamlining their offering for clients into a unified platform model. 🦁 Ben Smith explores the success of Publicis in the years since in a brilliant article on Semafor this week - ‘All roads run through Paris’: How Publicis got ahead'✍ #canneslions #advertising #publicis #advertisingnews

Inflation, rising food costs, and AI-generated budget recipes. It's rare that brands actually have the ability to be 'relatable' to their consumers, but this campaign absolutely nails it! "The Inflation Cookbook" campaign by Dentsu Creative x Food Banks Canada | Banques alimentaires Canada is a great example of the creative way data can be utilised to create a stronger emotional connection with consumers through their everyday, real life struggles. Gen AI beautifully integrates into the app with custom recipe generation aided by #Midjourney visuals that allow the user to truly feel listened to about their specific needs and concerns. Definitely warrants a Gold Media Lion at the #CannesLions2024! #artificialintelligence #digitalmarketing #advertising #generativeai #dataanalytics #inflation
