If you think you’ve heard all the definitive recaps of the Cannes Lions, put that thought aside and join Marisa and Steven as they talk to the person who is the Chairman of it all: Philip Thomas. Just some of what will interest and likely surprise you (in a conversation intended at least as much for those who did NOT attend as for those who did):

- What the real lead story of the festival was (which barely made a headline)

- The true mission of the Cannes Lions, that marketers should really appreciate

- Why “AI” was all over Cannes - except for in the jury room

- What Russia’s invasion of Ukraine taught about what keeps some people from going to the Cannes Lions

- The weirdest thing that happened all week (it involves Elon)

And … what did Phil, Marisa and Steven think was Cool or Cringe from it all? Tune in and share your thoughts back!
