Drive Creative Impact
Putting long-term, sustainable impact centre stage
Creative marketing is an advantage when budgets are under pressure. But it can often be difficult to convince the C-suite to invest in creativity – especially in the current economic climate.
The Creative Impact sessions at this year’s Festival will unveil exclusive new research into the drivers of effectiveness, bring clarity on the future challenges the industry’s due to face, and offer clear solutions on how to respond to them effectively.
Co-curated with WARC, the authority on marketing effectiveness, this new content stream uncovers the role creativity can play in driving sustainable business growth in 2023 and beyond.
These are just some of the sessions that’ll put creative effectiveness in the spotlight this June. See them all in the Cannes Lions 2023 Programme.
