The Cannes Lions Podcast

Philip takes a moment to explore what makes a great customer experience with Nick Law, Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Group, R/GA's US Chief Creative Officer Tiffany Rolfe and Daniel Bonner, Global Chief Creative Officer of Wunderman.

Philip takes a moment to explore whether brands should "do good" with SY Lau, Senior Executive Vice President, Chairman of Group Marketing and Global Branding at Tencent, P&G's Chief Brand Officer Marc Pritchard, Patagonia Marketing Director, Europe, Alex Weller, Michelle Melendez, Senior Director of Global Philanthropy at Global Citizen, and Gustavo Lauria, the CCO of We Believers.

Our third question is one that everyone who produces creative work has to address: How can brands earn the right to be authentically part of culture? Philip tries to come up with some answers with help from Burger King CMO Fernando Machado; the Chairman and Founder of Translation and United Masters, Steve Stoute, and Nils Leonard, the Creative Founder of Uncommon Creative Studio.

In our second episode, Philip has an increasingly urgent issue in his sights: Why is everyone in advertising struggling so much with diversity, inclusion and equality? He examines the issue in conversation with Adrianne Smith (Cannes Can Diversity Collective), Monique Nelson, (UWG), and Madonna Badger (Badger & Winters).
