We're recapping Cannes Lions 2026 from the French Riviera, this time skipping the Cabernet in favor of some far more heat-approved glasses of rosé in hand. This week on Coffee, Commerce & Cabernet, Destaney and Gabi sit down with Laura, VP of Retail Media at BTR Media, for her first ever Cannes experience. They dig into how AI conversations at Cannes have evolved year over year, why the best sessions are often the ones outside your own industry (Canva, Pinterest, Female Quotient, and Sport Beach all made the cut), and the origin story of how Better AMS became BTR Media, a decision made on the streets of Cannes.
