Every year, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity brings together the world’s best ideas, the kind that make you laugh, cry or question everything you thought you knew about creativity. And every year, I return with a notebook full of insights and a heart full of inspiration, ready to share what it all means for us here in Canada.
This year’s festival made one thing crystal clear: the future of creativity isn’t cautious — it’s courageous. From AI’s wild west to the rise of ROE (Return on Emotion), Cannes Lions 2025 reminded us that imagination still leads the way.
That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to Après Cannes 2025, hosted by The Globe and Mail, the official Canadian Representative for the Cannes Lions Festival. It’s an evening dedicated to decoding the ideas, trends, and provocations shaping our industry — and to raising a glass to Canadian creativity.
I’ll be leading a 45-minute session, Decoding Cannes, where I’ll break down the standout campaigns and creative themes that defined this year’s festival. You’ll hear about the work that moved the jury rooms, challenged convention, and set new creative standards for the year ahead.
We’ll also be joined by Canadian jurors and Young Lions competitors who will share their own behind-the-scenes perspectives and festival highlights.
So, if you’re an agency leader, marketer, or creative soul looking for a spark of inspiration, join us for an evening of ideas, insights, and a little rosé.
