Rivierawear: What agency veterans are packing for Cannes

Digiday covers the latest from marketing and media at the annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. More from the series →

Despite its dreamy backdrop, Cannes Lions is no vacation, so attendees have to think beyond sunglasses and seersucker shorts. After all, when you leave for the day, there’s no telling when you’ll see your suitcase again.

We asked two agency veterans at Huge, global ecd Jason Musante and managing director of media Beth Mach, to share what they pack to outlast a day at the festival, which could include a blustery boat ride, a business meeting, a mile-long trek and a four-hour dinner that starts at midnight. Just watch out for spilled rosé.
