Today on our show, we’re launching a special summer mini-series recorded live from the Cannes Lions 2023 International Festival of Creativity. frog was an official partner of the event, where we hosted a cabana along the famed croisette. What ensued was four days of programming that included on-stage panels from our sunny beachside terrace and interviews with expert guests from leading brands in our on-site recording studio. 

Day One in the frog Cabana, we focused on the theme ‘Innovation in a World of Flux" and discussed everything from avoiding the pitfalls of so-called ‘innovation theater’ to real company journeys driving transformation and whether brands can ever truly be authentic or are more often guilty of smoke-and-mirror tactics. 

Special thanks to this episode's guests: Gagandeep Gadri, Managing Director, frog; Véronique Bruhat, Head of Digital Health for Specialty Care, Sanofi; Dr. Moira Gilchrist, VP & Director of Scientific & Strategic Communications; Russell Parsons, Editor-in-Chief, Marketing Week

Today on our show, we’re talking about the future of banking. Or, more specifically, how the true next wave of financial services experiences are becoming so embedded into our everyday lives, such a part of everything we do, that banking may become invisible altogether. You’re going to hear a conversation between three leading voices in this space. Stephen Dury, Vice President of Financial Services for frog’s parent company Capgemini Invent, who hosts a discussion with Janine Hurt, Chief Executive Officer for Innovate Finance, and Michael Harte, Partner at United Ventures and Industry Research Fellow at MIT. The conversation spans everything from regulation in the age of fintech, to what it takes to stand out in an invisible banking landscape,  to financial literacy for children.

We’re back for 2023! And today on our show, we’re talking about artificial intelligence and human creativity. Creative AI, also called Generative AI, is inspiring new ways of working and even thinking about the creative process. To help us unpack the implications of all this, we’re once again joined by Andreas Markdalen, Global Chief Creative Officer at frog. Back in 2015, Andreas first began speaking about the intersection of AI and design at a conference called Digital Shoreditch in London. A few years later, he again explored the topic in a presentation at Interaction 19. Next month, Andreas will again take the stage at Interaction 23 in Zürich to expand on whether Creative AI will be the death of creativity, or the means of unlocking a whole new era of imagination.
