Digiday is heading to Cannes for the Cannes Lions. We’ll aim to cover the festival, which has morphed from an agency creative gathering into an all-encompassing event for all media, from a different point of view. We’ll aim to pull back the veil on the real action in Cannes, from the parties to the scuttlebutt along the Croisette. On Thursday, June 19th, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Digiday is putting on a game show, in partnership with MediaMath. “Are You Calling Me Liar?” will feature top advertising executives telling tales, some true and some false. Two teams will compete to figure out who is telling the truth — and who isn’t. This being Cannes, cocktails will be served.
Participants Include:
Ana Andjelic, head of digital strategy, Spring Studios
Sophie Kelly, CEO, The Barbarian Group
Megan Pagliuca, general manager and vp of display media, Merkle
Ian Schafer, CEO, Deep Focus
Gary Theut, VP of client services, Pereira & O’Dell
Kate Watts, managing director, DC, Huge
