Setting aside infinite individual takes and takeaways from Cannes, where are the authoritative insights on outcomes and actions moving forward from the governing entities in our industry? It's crucial to distill the week, map out the points on the horizon, and establish a roadmap. Amidst the wave of post-Cannes reflections, let's focus on actionable industry standards, goals, and unified viewpoints to benefit our clients. #MakeCannesCannesAgain with a media industry summit in NY or London, addressing the top three industry issues each year with a clear goal to set standards. Let's move beyond mere pontification and embrace unified, actionable initiatives that elevate our industry. It's time for concrete results, implications, and work-streams to achieve our shared objectives. Pssst! The holding company that leads the charge in setting and publishing these goals will secure the industry's thought leadership position and attract the best brands and talent.

Our attendees and community members have raised valid concerns about industry events often falling short, featuring endless presentations that miss the mark, limited chances for meaningful connections, and minimal actionable takeaways. Let me remind you how our Exchanges stand apart: •Collaborative Problem-Solving - Join intimate roundtable discussions with industry peers to exchange ideas and tackle shared challenges. Formats include Think Tanks, Roundtables, and Panels. •Transformative Insights - Hear from top-tier speakers in keynotes and interactive panels, with confirmed leaders from The Coca-Cola Company, E.ON and Network Rail providing a cross-industry perspective. •Tailored Innovation Sessions - Discover the latest tools and technologies in legal operations through customised solution provider meetings designed to meet your unique needs. 📩 Message me if you're a legal ops leader looking for an event that meets your needs and makes the most of your time away from the office.

According to Steve Jobs, innovation distinguishes leaders from followers and I might argue the same is true in sales and marketing. If you want to find out more or just debate this point, I hope you’ll consider joining me and attending this great SAMPS event later this year! #lifesciences #salesandmarketing #commercialinnovation

Thrilled to join Drew Neisser's CMO Huddles in London today. WIth fellow panelists, my good mate Sion Lewis CEO CiPHR, and Amanda St L Jobbins CMO Vodafone Business (someone who I have heard so much about over the years but never met) The panel discussion discussed the somewhat delicate relationship between CMO and CEO in tech businesses and how instrumental this is for a CMO to do their job well. Based on alignment with and deep understanding of the goals and motivations of their CEO (which are sometimes not as apparent as you might think) and the business. We also touched on the differences in approaches to marketing in the US and Europe. US software firms are more prepared to build an expansive vision and "story" in the early stages of the business and grow into it, compared to a rather more humble approach in Europe, where the story and message are often smaller than the business and lag behind. Building big companies needs a "big" vision. We should be bolder! CMO Huddles is a US based networking community for technology CMOs, just building a London chapter. Highly recommended, anyone interested DM Drew (he's the one with a Penguin on his head)!
