In our second episode of The Rise of A24 series, we are covering the gonzo horror of the Philippou brothers in Talk to Me (2023) and the roots of elevated horror in Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981)Special Guest - Returning to the podcast, Writer and Horror Film Aficionado, Andrea GomezA24 has built a reputation for edgy horror films. They helped to popularize the concept of elevated horror in the 2010s: The Witch, It Comes at Night, Hereditary. They have continued to nurture new voices in horror in 2020s with their patronage of the Philippou brothers. Talk to Me was produced without any A24 input or support. They stepped in when the film was screened to much shock and applause at Sundance in 2023. Before A24 became big producers, this is exactly how they built the brand and company. Find really interesting and exciting new films and take over the distribution. Talk to Me was a glam slam for A24, who acquired it for only single digit millions as it when on to make 92 million dollars at the box office.Possession was not a huge success upon its released in 1981. The outlandishly wonderful horror film popped off at Cannes winning the Special Jury Prize along with Isabelle Adjani winning Best Actress. But outside the artistic bubble of Europe, the film was met with extreme skepticism and outright hatred. The USA release was shambolic with the original 124 minute run time being cut down to measly 81 minutes. The UK outright banned the film in the 1980s. But time has a way of mellowing reactions and opening minds. Possession slowly became a cult film thanks to boutique home video releases. With the rise of elevated horror in the 2010s, Possession reached its vaulted status as a horror classic.
It was maligned at Cannes in 1992, and now it's finally being discussed (hardly) on this episode of //MOVIES.

On episode 303 AwardsWatch Editor-In-chief Erik Anderson is joined by Executive Editor Ryan McQuade, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello, contributors Mark Johnson and Jorge Tenreiro and Christina Birro of Pop Culture Confidential to break down what we think will be at Telluride this season, who might be getting Silver Medallions and much more.

Leaving Cannes critics perplexed and polarized this spring, Ari Aster's Eddington takes aim at the fabric of the American zeitgeist. Is it the defining finger on the pulse of COVID-abetted brain rot? Or is it as groan-worthy as an "Ari Aster COVID movie" sounds? We discuss the film, Aster's filmography, and the prospect of assembling a political perspective through a fractured, dogshit Internet.
At the Datacloud Global Congress 2025 in Cannes, Olivier Micheli, President and CEO of privately held Data4, discussed the group's €21.5 billion (US$24.5 billion) investment pipeline, Europe's digital infrastructure outlook, and the company's positioning amid rising global competition. Micheli acknowledged the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties that have shaped the industry in early 2025 but emphasised that fundamental demand drivers remain strong. “In the last five or six months, the world has changed a lot. It creates uncertainty. Customers sign 10–15-year contracts, and they need certainty,” Micheli said. “However, data volumes continue to double every three years, business cloud is growing, and generative AI is still a strong driver. So, overall, the demand for data centres remains very robust.” Micheli confirmed that Data4's current development programme is backed by a committed €21.5 billion (US$24.5 billion) capital plan, one of the largest among European operators. Roughly €15 billion (US$17.1 billion) of that amount will be invested in France, with the remainder allocated across existing markets including Spain, Italy, Poland, and Greece. “France offers significant competitive advantages. It has available power, low carbon emissions due to nuclear generation, and lower electricity costs compared to Germany or Italy,” Micheli said. “We are focusing our capital on existing markets and building both capacity and resilience.” The company's current rollout includes a 500MW digital hub in the southern Paris region. This comprises the established Paris 1 campus (250MW) and a new Paris 3 site (250MW), forming one of the largest digital clusters in Europe. A separate gigawatt-scale project in northern France is also underway, with construction planned through to the 2030s. Additionally, Micheli addressed the challenges Europe faces in attracting and supporting AI infrastructure, particularly in comparison to North America. “For the training part of generative AI, you need access to cheap and available power. In the US, you get that in one to three years. In many parts of Europe, it takes five to ten years,” he said. “So the AI workloads are going to the US. But Europe still needs infrastructure to support its 500 million citizens.” While AI training workloads may remain in North America, Micheli argued that inference workloads and broader cloud services must reside in Europe to serve local user bases and ensure data compliance. Micheli was cautious about data centres being officially recognised as an “electricity-intensive industry,” which could lead to increased regulation. “The sector is growing faster than others and will be one of the top consumers of power globally,” he said. “We must be careful. If the industry is classified as a utility, it could face heavy regulation — and regulation often limits innovation.” Sustainability remains one of the core pillars of Data4's corporate strategy. Micheli described several initiatives underway to reduce the environmental footprint of the company's operations. A notable innovation is the use of algae farms to absorb CO₂ and reuse waste heat from data centres. Elsewhere, data sovereignty is emerging as a central issue in Europe's digital agenda. Micheli underlined that a distributed and competitive infrastructure network is essential to support the continent's ambition for digital independence. “Europe must have the best infrastructure across all its markets — not just in one location,” he said. “It's a critical component of sovereignty.” He also noted that as regulatory requirements for data localisation increase, the demand for local infrastructure will only grow — both from public institutions and private sector clients. Asked whether an initial public offering (IPO) was on the horizon, Micheli said Data4 is not currently considering a listing but acknowledged that it could be a longer-term possibility. “At the moment, no — we're in a high-growth phase and need the flexibility to invest,” he said. “Once we are more stabilised, when we're perhaps at €20 or €30 billion market cap, then it may become relevant.” He also commented on the broader industry trend: “A lot of platforms are becoming too large for traditional private equity. Public markets might be the next step to monetise those assets.”

Trade shows and events are back!But most still miss the point. If you're not walking away with real relationships and revenue potential, you're doing it wrong.Hey there, I'm Kerry Curran—B2B Revenue Growth Executive Advisor, Industry Analyst, and host of Revenue Boost: A Marketing Podcast.In this episode, Pipeline in Person: How Relationship-First Events Drive Real ROI, we're diving into how the smartest B2B brands are getting off the expo floor and into curated conversations that actually convert.I'm joined by Jon Whitfield, Chief Operating Officer at MediaPost, who has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of high-impact, face-to-face marketing. Jon isn't just running another event company—he's building a reputation for delivering summit experiences that sponsors rebook year after year because they drive pipeline, not just visibility.And here's the surprising truth: smaller, niche gatherings with the right ratio of buyers to sponsors consistently outperform massive trade shows—if you get the format right. Jon breaks down why most conferences fail to deliver ROI—and how to fix it.We cover:The one customer value metric sponsors should use to justify their spend How curated experiences like golf, axe throwing, and roundtables deepen buyer trust What brand-side marketers actually want from events in a post-remote world And how to build stronger sponsor-attendee matchmaking and content alignment Picture this: instead of awkward badge scans, you're having real conversations over dinner, sharing challenges in closed-door roundtables, and walking away with warm leads who already know, like, and trust you.Stay to the end, where Jon shares his one non-negotiable rule for evaluating event ROI—and how to spot a conference worth investing in before you spend a dollar.If you're investing in events this year, this episode is your edge.Hit follow, drop a rating, and share it with your field marketing or partnerships lead—because pipeline starts before the pitch.Let's go!Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:02.296):So welcome, Jon. Please introduce yourself and share your background and expertise.Jon Whitfield (00:07.832):Well, hello, Kerry. Thanks for having me on. My name is Jon Whitfield. I'm the Chief Operating Officer over at MediaPost. I've been there for a long time—I didn't realize you could be at a place for as long as 22 years. Apparently, there are other places you can work. I didn't know that. No one ever told me. I just learned that you can get other jobs at other places.Yeah, I've been at MediaPost for 22 years. I've seen a lot of things change over the years, and yeah, we're thrilled just to still be kicking and doing our thing.Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:46.176):Excellent. Well, I know you've become the expert at events, and in my own experience with MediaPost, you've curated a really valuable experience for both brands, attendees, and sponsors. I want to dive into your expertise and help marketers and sponsors get more out of their conferences—and really think about what that investment looks like.We're seeing more and more value put into face-to-face relationship-building and brand-building. Conferences offer that, right? Talk about how you've seen the industry evolve and what you're seeing today.Jon Whitfield (01:38.716):Yeah, I mean, it's funny. When I first started out in this business, you had real tentpole events—like the ad:techs and the SESs of the world—that had 300 exhibitors and thousands of attendees. These were real, large gatherings that happened several times a year. If you weren't at those—whether as an exhibitor or an attendee—you kind of didn't exist. It was like, “We've got to be there.”So in the early 2000s and through the first decade of the new millennium, those large shows were really commonplace and important.We participated not only as exhibitors but also by launching our own conference series called OMMA Global, which had a couple of thousand people, 150 exhibitors, and was a two-day, multi-track content event. It was a big lift. It wasn't easy to put together or manage.But after five or six years of doing that, we realized it was really difficult to go back to our sponsor pool and guarantee them the ROI they were looking for. Because with large events, you're not really in control of the experience. You're kind of leaving it to chance: maybe someone good stops by a booth, maybe there's a follow-up, maybe someone connects at the cocktail party, maybe someone attends the sponsored presentation.Sometimes you get four people in the room, sometimes 50—you're just not in control. Over time, we learned that the more control you have over the experience—and the more you're involved in it—the more satisfied everyone will be: sponsors, attendees, everyone.Kerry Curran, RBMA (03:28.800):Right.Jon Whitfield (04:15.984):Exactly. And so, we just evolved. You've still got the big tentpole events like CES that serve a purpose. But I don't know many people in advertising or marketing who come back from CES saying, “I got a ton of business from that.”You want to be seen there, like at Cannes. These large shows are viable, but as a business, we found we couldn't deliver on the experience we promised. That's why we transitioned to smaller settings, like our Summit Series.Kerry Curran, RBMA (05:15.244):Yeah, and I've been to a number of your events as well as the big shows. I agree—both as a sponsor and as an attendee—with the smaller, more niche, intimate events, relationship-building becomes much more organic. You're on the bus to dinner, at happy hour, or even horseback riding. There's so much more opportunity to build meaningful relationships.Jon Whitfield (05:46.884):Yeah, in a smaller setting, you really get to know people. It's almost like dating. They're testing you out, seeing how you are in different environments, and you're a direct reflection of the business you're there to represent.When the event ends, they have a pretty good sense of, “Do I want to work with this person?” Or maybe, “That didn't really work out.” You don't get that level of intimacy when you're just scanning badges at a big conference. You're not getting that.So we value time spent in different environments—not just in a conference room, but also on the bus, during a golf round, throwing axes, horseback riding, whatever it is. You really see people's true selves in those environments, and that translates into better business relationships. At least, that's what we think.Kerry Curran, RBMA (07:04.492):Yeah, no—and again, I've loved it. I often describe your events as almost like destination weddings. By the end of three days, you're best friends with everyone. You've cultivated a really unique culture within your events, where the sponsors all get to know each other, and everyone's been so willing to have conversations and learn from each other.Jon Whitfield (07:43.888):Absolutely. It's something we've tinkered with for years. It's never perfect. Things happen—weather, logistics—that can muddy things up. But if you have the basic formula down and you've tried it enough times, you can predict, “This is going to be a good one.”We've been doing our Email Summit for 19 years, twice a year. We've been doing our Performance Marketing Summit (formerly Search & Performance) for 19 years. These are tried-and-true programs.And I always ask our sponsors: What's a customer worth to you? What do we need to do to deliver not just one, but two, three, four customers? We want to knock it out of the park. If a customer is worth more than their investment, that's great—I can deliver that. But if the customer value is low and the investment is high, that's a math problem.So we work backward from that. How do we get each supporter to a place of success? That's how we approach it.Jon Whitfield (09:11.312):That's great—because I can deliver that. But if they're investing a ton and their customer value is very low, then there's a math problem, right? So it's about figuring out how we get those individuals who support our events to a place of success. That's how we approach it. We start kind of backward and move forward—and then do our best to deliver on the promise.Kerry Curran, RBMA (09:35.087):Yeah, no, that makes so much sense. And it's smart to think of it that way. Everyone needs ROI on their investments. So when you're talking to sponsors—say a new ad tech, martech, or agency reaches out and wants to sponsor—what are they usually looking for in a conference experience?Jon Whitfield (09:58.756):Well, it kind of depends on what the product is. Some of our sponsors have a more technical platform or need more time to explain their value—they might need a visual or demo. So they might want to sponsor a presentation where they get 10 minutes to show and educate everyone on who they are, what they do, and why they matter in the overall ecosystem.Others don't need that much time. They're like, “Here's what we do, here are a few of our customers, and we'd like to sponsor the brewery tour,” or “Let's take everyone on a cool boat ride.” It's more about creating a memorable experience and attaching your name to something we've built—where all boats rise. You mentioned competitors—at our events, sponsors often become frenemies. They all understand they're there for the same reason. So we keep it positive. Let's all try to win. There's no reason to make it awkward.So yeah, it really depends on what the sponsor is trying to achieve. We just recommend what we know works, based on years and years of doing these.Kerry Curran, RBMA (11:28.674):Yeah, and I like what you pointed out about branding and associating your brand with the audience. Especially in B2B, that's such a challenge. So many brands I talk to are focused on lower funnel—"I just need the sales"—but they forget their audience has to have heard of them and liked them first. The conference environment is a really effective and efficient way to do that.Jon Whitfield (11:59.534):Exactly. You also asked me earlier about how things have evolved over time—and, of course, we had this little thing called COVID in between. We were doing fine leading into it, but coming out of COVID was rough. We couldn't do in-person events, so we pivoted to virtual—Zoom events, video panels. They were fine for keeping the community connected, but nothing compares to in-person relationship-building.In 2021, 2022, and 2023, I'd start each show by asking the audience, “Raise your hand if this is your first summit.” A lot of hands would go up. Then I'd ask, “Are you still primarily working remotely?” And again—almost everyone raised their hands.And if I asked today, I'd still get a majority. So when we talk about the viability of events—how are you going to meet people if no one's in an office anymore? Are you going to go to their house? Meet at a local Starbucks? At some point, it lands back on events. And yeah, we've been fortunate to benefit from that shift.Kerry Curran, RBMA (13:15.752):Yeah.Jon Whitfield (13:25.592):I still think there's this broad shift away from full-time, in-office work. And that really emphasizes the value of in-person gatherings—big or small.Kerry Curran, RBMA (13:41.239):I completely agree. And vendors can't do lunch-and-learns like they used to, either—not if the agency or brand team is fully remote or just more dispersed. So conferences become a valuable way to introduce your brand, tease interest, and build toward a deeper sales conversation or demo.Now, we've talked about sponsors. But the other critical audience is the attendees. Your target audience is brand-side marketers across different industries and verticals. From their perspective, what are they looking for in a conference? What do they find at MediaPost?Jon Whitfield (14:41.604):When brands come together at our events, they're looking for like-minded individuals going through similar challenges. You might have someone who runs email for American Airlines sitting next to someone managing email for a restaurant chain—and they're facing the same problems.It might be deliverability. It might be creative. It might be open rates. That's just one example, but a lot of marketers want a platform where they can share ideas, collaborate, trade war stories, and ask questions—even what they think might be dumb questions—in a safe environment where they'll get real help and honest answers.So when they get back to the office on Monday, they're equipped with real insights and action items. That's the big thing.The sponsors—the vendors and platforms—provide the tools. They're the ones building solutions to help marketers do their jobs better.I always say this at our conferences: MediaPost doesn't really provide a takeaway in the traditional sense—no binders, no decks. The takeaway is the connection. It's the chance to meet tech solution providers who are working hard to make marketers' lives easier and more effective.We create the space for those connections to happen—in an intimate way, where people can really spend time together, share ideas, riff off each other, and see where it goes.I think that's what our buyers—the marketers—really want. And here's the thing: they get calls all the time from our sponsors before the event and they never answer the phone. They're busy people. But then they come to the event and say, “Oh my god, you've been calling me for months. I never picked up. But I watched your presentation—it was amazing. Let's set up a test next week.”We hear that story over and over again. It's not that marketers don't want to learn about these technologies—it's that their day-to-day is packed. So events give them the breathing room to explore.Kerry Curran, RBMA (17:08.846):Yeah, definitely. And to your point, it's so important for marketers to stay on top of the latest technology, platforms, publishers. You give them an environment to learn from peers and providers. You also do a great job balancing content and networking. Talk a bit about your approach to content and the roundtables.Jon Whitfield (17:56.014):Yeah. All of our content is built for the marketer—the buyer, the brand-side attendee. Our panels, our keynotes, anything that's not sponsored is programmed with that in mind.We want to highlight best practices and challenges from the main stage so that people can identify with what's being shared. That content sets the stage for deeper conversations later—whether it's during an activity, a reception, or dinner. It plants seeds that grow over three days.These aren't one-day fly-in events. You're invested. You're present. You're there to grow. From a content perspective, we always ask the marketer or agency side: What are your struggles? What are your wins? What lessons can you share?Kerry Curran, RBMA (18:53.730):Yeah.Jon Whitfield (19:23.664):And then, when it's a sponsor's turn—okay, you've got 10 minutes—riff on what you heard. Build on it if you want. But mostly, tell us who you are, what you do, what value you offer. We want a pitch. Show us the dashboard. Show us who your customers are. Be clear.That's how we do it. We don't cross-pollinate the content. You've spoken at our events—you know we keep it church and state. We program the editorial content. And we expect sponsors to bring equally valuable content that's insightful and impactful.That's how we create a full, engaging morning of sessions.Kerry Curran, RBMA (20:28.556):Absolutely. And you do a great job curating senior-level speakers and timely themes that reflect what marketers in those verticals are really facing.I've always found that valuable. And one of my favorite parts? Your roundtables. Like you always say—mics off, real talk. That's when people ask the questions they're afraid to ask on stage. And it's just as valuable for the sponsors—they get to hear firsthand what their audience is struggling with and start a meaningful conversation right then and there.Jon Whitfield (21:51.652):Yep.Kerry Curran, RBMA (21:56.417):It's all about building real, mutually beneficial relationships—and you've created a space that does that so well.Jon Whitfield (22:05.208):Thanks. And yeah—we've had feedback that if we could run an entire summit with just roundtables, people would love it. They're so impactful. You turn off the cameras, and people get honest.Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in the day, but those roundtables consistently get top marks in our post-show surveys.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:41.484):I believe it.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:41.484):I definitely agree. Jon, this has been incredibly helpful. I think it's important for everyone listening to be reminded just how valuable event investments can be—from education to relationship-building to, ultimately, driving sales.So for those tuning in who want to ramp up their event strategy—or need to build a business case for budget from their CFO—what's your recommendation for getting started?Jon Whitfield (23:18.244):Start by comparing the costs. What's your total investment going to be to sponsor an event? It's not inexpensive. There's travel, hotels, time. If you're a vendor or sponsor, it's not the cheapest thing in the world.So go back to that question: What's a customer worth to you?How are you currently getting customers? Are you converting through digital-only channels? Maybe you're just selling widgets and don't need in-person interaction. Fine. But if you're in a consultative or technical sale where FaceTime matters, then events are going to pay dividends.If you're trying to decide which events to support, here's what I tell people: Look at whether the sponsors from two or three years ago are still coming back. If they're not, run for the hills. That's a red flag. It means the experience didn't deliver.Look at our Email Insider Summit. We've been running it for 19 years. And for at least the past 10, you'll see many of the same companies sponsoring over and over. That doesn't happen by accident. It takes hard work. You have to care deeply about the experience and the investment people are making—your sponsors, your ticket buyers.That's something we believe in strongly. Maybe that's why we're still around. But yeah—do your homework. Know what a customer is worth to you. Run the numbers. You have to get ROI from these things. That's just the bottom line.Kerry Curran, RBMA (25:36.471):I totally agree. And one thing to level-set with your CFO is: you're probably not going to see ROI immediately. Depending on what you're selling, it might be three to six months down the road.If you come home without a signed contract, it doesn't mean it wasn't a success—it just means you're playing a longer game.And I know you also do a great job customizing sponsor opportunities at your events.Jon Whitfield (26:18.788):Yeah, it's all about knowing who you are as a company. What do you want to be known for? Is it education? Is it fun? Is it gifts?Every brand has its own playbook. That's why we offer a variety of sponsorship options—because everyone has a different goal when they come to an event.Kerry Curran, RBMA (26:59.630):Exactly. There's so much flexibility. One-on-one meetings. Content partnerships. Webinars. Lots of ways to extend the experience beyond the event.And one more thing we didn't touch on—brand attendees. You have some great senior-level VIP opportunities, right?Jon Whitfield (27:21.668):Absolutely. For this model to work, we need a strong brand-side presence—decision-makers, people with media and marketing budgets, people who want to network and learn.That's the lifeblood of our business. And we're always looking to bring in new marketers doing interesting things.That's part of what keeps this exciting. Even something as “old” as email is constantly evolving. There are always new tools and trends—whether it's AI, chatGPT, TikTok, or whatever else is coming.So yeah, we need marketers who want to tell their stories, who want to improve, and who want to meet others doing the same.Kerry Curran, RBMA (29:21.070):And that's how you pitch it to your boss. “Yes, I'm going to Amelia Island—but look who else will be there. Look at the brands and tech providers I'll be learning from.” You come back with insights and a full notebook, and your higher-ups will be glad you went.Jon Whitfield (29:47.044):Exactly. And yes—senior marketers can qualify for our VIP passes. We have a set number of those for each event. Once they're gone, they're gone.We also cap the total audience to keep the buyer-to-seller ratio balanced—usually around 1:1. It's typically 90–100 people: half brand-side, half sponsors. That way, everyone gets time to connect. And if by day three you haven't met who you need to meet—you stayed in your room too long!Kerry Curran, RBMA (30:48.834):Well, I can say I'm still close with many of the marketers and vendors I've met at your events. I always recommend your summits because they're high-value, well-structured, and genuinely productive.So, Jon—if someone wants to get in touch to learn more, how can they find you?Jon Whitfield (31:29.036):Well, not that I need more email—but you can reach me at Jon@MediaPost.com. If you're interested in sponsorships, my right-hand man Seth Oilman is your guy—Seth@MediaPost.com. He's our CRO and runs the sponsorship side.Reach out, and I'll point you in the right direction.Kerry Curran, RBMA (31:54.624):Excellent. We'll include all of that in the show notes—and make sure everyone mentions they heard you here!Jon Whitfield (32:02.552):Thanks again, Kerry. You've been such a great supporter and advocate for years. We appreciate all you've done—and don't stop!Kerry Curran, RBMA (32:17.550):Thanks, Jon. I believe in what you're doing and love being part of it. Can't wait to see you again soon!Jon Whitfield (32:30.884):You got it. Can't wait.Thanks again to Jon Whitfield for pulling back the curtain on what makes events actually drive results. Here's what we're walking away with: big expos can generate visibility, but intimate events create trust and conversions. ROI starts with one question—what's a customer worth to you? Events should be evaluated not just on cost, but on continuity, brand fit, and customer alignment.If this sparked ideas for your event or sponsor strategy, share it with your team—and let us know what resonated.

“That which unites us is far greater than what divides us.” The first four words of this sentence are subtitle, and subtext, for “Path of Liberty,” an immersive outdoor photo and media experience on view through fall 2025 at Freedom Plaza on Manhattan's east side. The creative groundwork for this project was a mammoth effort involving an extensive crew both on the road and behind the scenes. In today's podcast, we catch up with two principals of this project's creative team—creative director Daniella Vale and director of photography, Scott Beardslee—to learn more about their daily lives during two months spent traversing the country by van to interview a broad group of everyday Americans. From the founding idea of capturing the diversity of people across America to the curiosity and resilience of the crew when working on the road to the complexities of orchestrating the many sensory elements for an immersive experience in exhibition, our discussion is rich with creative insight. As Daniella shares during our chat, “I always tend to make three films. There's the film I write, the film I shoot, and then, usually, I rearrange everything and make a totally different film in the edit. So, I've gotten pretty accustomed to non-attachment and rolling with things. That's where the magic happens too.” Guests: Daniella Vale & Scott Beardslee Episode Timeline: 3:28: The inspiration behind Path of Liberty and Daniella's role as creative lead. 6:59: Daniella and Scott's respective backgrounds in photography and film, plus being curious and distinctions between finding the moment vs creating the moment. 12:02: Daniella and Scott's first introduction in the New York film world. 15:14: Building the crew for Path of Liberty and the challenges of traveling and conducting interviews on the road. 21:35: Daniella describes the three films she makes in the process of writing, shooting, and editing, plus the importance of learning to adapt on the fly. 26:54: Memorable stories from the Path of Liberty road trip. 30:56: Episode Break 31:30: We all want to be happy, but there's a difference between freedom and taking advantage of freedom 34:42: Daniella discusses her time in Japan, and the cultural contrast between American individualism and societies that put the group over the individual self. 41:00: The gear Daniella and Scott traveled with and how it affected the project. 47:59: The interview process with portrait subjects, plus making natural portraits in the moment. 58:32: The Path of Liberty installation in midtown Manhattan, the pride of subjects gathered from across the America, plus the complexities of the post-production process 1:05:39: The immersive aspects of the installation—from the sound design of the audio to the visual continuity between the photographs and the on-site terrain. 1:14:19: Scott and Daniella offer career advice for developing as a creative—leave room for being curious. Guest Bios: Daniella Vale is a New York City-based photographer, film director, and producer. Her creative passions began early, influenced by her uncles in Pittsburgh's avant-garde film movement. While attending university in Tokyo, Daniella worked on photography and documentary projects. She later moved to Bollywood, where she collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and Cannes-winning director Manish Jha. In New York, Daniella has worked for brands such as VICE, MTV, Google, and Prada, and with talent such as Alicia Keys, Deepak Chopra, and Lucy Liu. Her portfolio includes work in fashion, branded content, docu-series, and narrative films across various global locations. Career highlights include participating in the 2018 Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner and being featured in Allure magazine for her directing work. And of course, most recently, Daniella headed up the creative team for the immersive outdoor installation, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites Us, which we're here to talk about today. Scott Beardslee began his career in photography, working as a 1st and 2nd assistant. Yet his passion for narrative filmmaking soon inspired him to take a different career route, focusing on shooting films, commercials, and music videos. Upon graduation from San Francisco State University with a film theory and production degree, he pursued cinematography and later attended graduate school at The American Film Institute in Hollywood. Before he became serious about filmmaking himself, Scott worked as a gaffer for many established A.S.C. cinematographers. Currently, Scott is a Director of Photography in the Union Local 600, working on commercials, music videos, and television.

Elle est aussi coordinatrice nationale au CENALT, le Centre d'Alerte aux Tsunamis.Un séisme d'une ampleur exceptionnelle a été enregistré ce matin au large de la péninsule du Kamtchatka, dans l'Extrême-Orient russe. D'une magnitude de 8,8, cette secousse figure parmi les six plus puissants jamais mesurés sur la planète. Elle rappelle les grands séismes et tsunamis récents : celui de 2004 en Indonésie, qui a fait 230 000 morts, et celui de 2011 au Japon, qui avait submergé la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima. Par précaution, les employés de cette centrale ont été évacués ce matin.Le séisme a généré une série de vagues impressionnantes dans l'océan Pacifique, avec un mur d'eau de 5 mètres observé sur les côtes russes. Des vagues sont attendues dans les prochaines heures à Hawaï, en Alaska, sur la côte ouest des États-Unis, au Pérou, en Chine, ainsi qu'en Polynésie française, notamment dans les îles Marquises. L'alerte tsunami a été déclenchée sur l'ensemble de la zone Pacifique. Ces vagues peuvent se propager à plus de 700 km/h. Le phénomène de retrait brutal de la mer, souvent spectaculaire, est considéré comme un signe précurseur d'un déferlement à venir. Des échouages de baleines ont été signalés sur les côtes japonaises, parfois interprétés comme des signaux avant-coureurs. Une attention particulière est portée aux répliques, dont la fréquence et l'intensité restent incertaines.Ce contexte ravive aussi les inquiétudes concernant le risque de tsunami en Méditerranée. En 2022, l'UNESCO estimait à 100 % la probabilité qu'un tsunami, avec une vague de plus d'un mètre, frappe dans les 30 prochaines années les côtes méditerranéennes, notamment des villes françaises comme Marseille, Nice, Cannes ou Antibes. L'activité sismique est en hausse dans la région Pacifique, avec des phénomènes de plus en plus puissants. Aux États-Unis, la Californie se prépare depuis des décennies à un événement majeur, le redouté "Big One", un séisme de magnitude supérieure à 8,5 sur l'échelle de Richter. Hélène Hébert, géophysicienne au CEA, décryptera le séisme majeur au large de la Russie, les risques de tsunami dans le Pacifique et les dispositifs d'alerte en place.

In todays episode of Negroni's With Nord, James is back from France. We talk about influencer brands finding their markets and investors, Gen Z's growing spotlight on the importance of influencers as they come into more spending power, and how to sneak (or not sneak) into popular advertising festivals.
In this episode of The Big Impression, we're joined by James Rothwell, managing director of brand marketing at Kinective Media. Rothwell walks us through what's changed since launch — from major brand partnerships and custom content integrations to a headline-making alliance with JetBlue. With over 110 million traveler profiles and 63 million MileagePlus members, Kinective is fast becoming one of the most compelling new players in commerce media. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're checking back in on one of the boldest moves in airline media, connected media by United Airlines as they've redefined what's possible in the world of Traveler Media Networks.Damian Fowler (00:22):Our guest is James Rothwell, managing director of brand marketing at Connective Media. James and his team are helping United leverage the power of 110 million traveler profiles, create new opportunities for brands across the entire customer journey.Ilyse Liffreing (00:38):We actually spoke with Connective on this podcast just last year and just a week after they launched. A lot has happened since then from major brand partnerships to rapid innovation in tech content and measurement, and today we're catching up on what's new. So let's get into it.Damian Fowler (00:57):So James, this time last year, United had just launched Connective Media. It was June, 2024 at CAN, and it was the first airline media network. Could you walk us through what's happened since then? How has the network grown? How has it attracted brand campaigns and how is it working?James Rothwell (01:20):Yeah, absolutely. And thank you Damian, for having me on. This is great to be here. We just celebrated our first birthday, which is a wonderful thing. We're engaging with so many different types of brands who are interested in reaching a premium traveler audience. We've seen some success in most of the key verticals that you would imagine, and then some surprising ones too. And obviously it's a slam dunk for a travel brand or a destination brand, but those non-endemic brands, the non-endemic advertisers who are trying to reach travelers, no matter where they are in their journey or even in between journeys, we're finding really interesting use cases, really interesting targeting options and ways for them to be able to reach them across all of our screens. And on,Damian Fowler (02:08):Let's get into it a little further. Can you give us some examples? And you mentioned non endemics as well, but maybe we could start with the endemics and then move on to the non endemics.James Rothwell (02:17):No, absolutely. I think travel as a category is a growth sector right now. I think ever since the pandemic, people have been looking to explore the world and get out of the, I mean, they were cooped up for quite a while there, and so travel's never been more popular. Like any industry, you've got to break through the noise and the options that you have out there. Right? World's a big place.(02:43):Luckily we fly to a lot of different places. We have over 330 different destinations. One really interesting case study that we've just completed was with the Cayman Islands tourist board, and they were looking to drive passengers travelers to the Cayman Islands, and they worked with us across all of our media, and we were able to do closed loop attribution based on the bookings that were then made to those destinations. So for us, measurement and measurability is incredibly strong in the travel sector and the travel space. We were able to see basically with Cayman Islands, that 9,000 bookings came from exposure to the ads that ran across email, across our club lounges and in our entertainment seat back screens on the planes. So we were able to drive awareness, intent, and then conversion, and we were able to track that and they saw a 13 times return on an ad spend against that campaign. We were incredibly happy with that. They were incredibly happy with that. We obviously made some travelers very happy to go enjoy the wonderful blues ocean around the Cayman Islands.Damian Fowler (03:58):Yeah, there's something nice when you see that on screen. You'reJames Rothwell (04:01):Like that, I'm going to go there. Yeah, that looks nice. That one sells itself. ItIlyse Liffreing (04:05):Does. So you mentioned non-endemic brands too. That's really interesting.James Rothwell (04:09):Yeah, I mean, we're all travelers, right? We all got on a plane to be here in Cannes. It doesn't define us, but certainly it helps to give context and potentially insights around who we are as individuals and what we like to spend our money on where we like to spend our time. And so that translates into a really interesting audience segment for different brands. So we've had a lot of luck and a lot of success with luxury brands who want to reach, especially front of plane individuals. B2B brands has been a real boon for us as well. Business decision makers, they're looking to find those individuals and we can find 'em on the planes in the clubs and through different digital channels as well. And so that's been a really interesting sector that we've been able to really capitalize on, and I think they've been able to see some significant growth on that. And we work with, for example, JIRA, which is an Atlassian product, and they did a full omnichannel activation with us and they saw some fantastic results there.Ilyse Liffreing (05:16):Very cool. Could you describe that a little bit more, how, I guess you worked almost in a custom way, it sounds like With JiraJames Rothwell (05:26):For that one was very custom. In fact, they had their own branding moment and wanted to use some of that branding and creativity and plug it into the inflight entertainment screen. So we created a custom channel for them with curated content behind it, which then obviously gave them a branding moment and an opportunity to drive their messaging with more engagement. So that was a very custom moment, but also an opportunity for us to do very targeted work to find the right audience members throughout the journey.Ilyse Liffreing (05:56):We spoke with Mike Petre on this podcast just about a year ago, A week after you guysJames Rothwell (06:02):Launched. That's right.Ilyse Liffreing (06:03):It seems that you're moving fast and obviously moving on to things like custom solutions and everything like that. What else is new in the past 12 monthsJames Rothwell (06:12):Where to start? We've been bringing on a significant amount of partners, not only on the technical side, but also on the content side. So most recently we did a deal with Spotify. We're very excited about that partnership. Again, from a content perspective and an engagement perspective, that gives us a whole new set of ways and deeper engagement from people while they're on the planes. It's also an opportunity for a loyalty aspect of that as well. And we'll talk a little bit about how Mileage Plus comes into our overall offering, but if you sign up for Spotify Premium, there's a Mileage Plus component to that. We are the first airline to offer audio books and video podcasts within our planes. There's a lot going on in the loyalty space. We are working with many partners to be effectively integrated into our loyalty program with that will also be a media component as well. So this marriage of loyalty and media together is been a real, it's been very successful in terms of not only helping to drive awareness of those campaigns and those opportunities for Mileage plus members to convert, but also to drive media value for those individual brands. So Vivid Seats is another recent partner of ours where we are able to give mileage plus members the opportunity to earn miles as they buy tickets to entertainment. But you can imagine a world where for those types of companies, we know where those individuals are going to(07:41):At those destinations. Those companies know how many seats are available at a particular location. Can we match that data and make really customized targeted advertising campaigns to say, okay, we see you're going to Vegas, here are some seats available when you get there. So that opportunity of matching data with our partners from a targeted perspective and then a loyalty perspective is really limitless in terms of what the opportunity is there.Damian Fowler (08:08):Let me just ask you, partnerships like this seem hugely valuable in this space. What else are you seeing?James Rothwell (08:15):One of the partnerships that we're super excited about is a very recent announcement with JetBlue. We will be working with JetBlue in a number of different ways. Again, loyalty will be a component of that where we are able to, a JetBlue customer can use United Miles to fly on JetBlue and vice versa. There will be a component that will extend to airport and gate availability down the road. There's a commerce play part as part of that where JetBlue will be powering commerce for us for ancillary products like hotels, cruises, cars, et cetera. And then where it's very exciting for the Connected Media group is that we will be effectively selling JetBlue audiences under the connected media roof that will sit alongside our United Media and United audiences. So the combination of that obviously is a scaled audience across different geographies where JetBlue is stronger in the northeast where we are not as strong. So very kind of complimentary in terms of the audience. And that obviously from an advertiser perspective is great because that's more scale. It's one less phone call to make in a world where there's 280 different media networks that kind of consolidation or rather that opportunity to create an airline audience at scale. We think there's massive opportunity there, and we're talking to a number of other airlines about that opportunity.Damian Fowler (09:36):And when you talk about at scale, you've got 63 million mileage plus members, so that's aJames Rothwell (09:42):Serious, yeah. And 174 passengers over the year. I think JetBlue is around 40, soDamian Fowler (09:49):74 million. Yeah.James Rothwell (09:50):Yeah, 174 million. And then you add 40 million of JetBlue you're getting up there in terms of hundreds of millions of audience members that we can now get in front of. That's a serious proposition.Ilyse Liffreing (10:00):Yeah, it's a great partnership really in a lot of ways. Almost a surprising one too, because you guys are competitors but are also helping each other out in ways. AndJames Rothwell (10:13):Again, it's a very complimentary partnership. I think they're strong in places where we don't have the same coverage. And so it works from that perspective. At the airline level, I think what's most interesting for me is we think we might be the first commerce media player to bring a, I wouldn't even call 'em competitor. I would call 'em a pier,(10:35):A pier into the garden. And this is not a walled garden. This is an anti-Wall garden straight. We've built this technology stack purpose built for the airline. We've built it so others don't have to. And we think by bringing more individuals and more airlines into this world, and it could extend to travel partners more broadly than just airlines, we think all boats will rise. I should probably say planes will fly, but we think there's value in, again, creating scale, creating efficiency for buyers, and ultimately sort of making the whole thing a little bit more streamlined.Damian Fowler (11:14):Yeah, yeah. We like that idea that especially when we look at advertisers and media buyers, the idea that everyone benefits from partnerships like this, so it's not like we're it locking you out. That idea of opening up, it's the value prop for media buys is huge.James Rothwell (11:35):Yeah, it's very new. So we're still figuring out all of the logistics. It'll start on the back seat screens and offsite, how we merge those and deduplicate those audiences through technology partners like LiveRamp is still being figured out, but we're very excited about the proposition and we'll start selling offsite later in the year. And then moving on to Seatback screens in 2026.Damian Fowler (12:01):Now, you did mention some metrics here, but we're just going to press you a little further on that. One of the virtues of Connected Media networks is that ability to tie back purchases to customers and some of the campaigns or partnerships you've mentioned. How is that working? What kind of visibility do you have?James Rothwell (12:20):So we work with a number of different measurement partners, Kantar di nata. We've just started working with Adelaide, which is an attention based measuring partner. And recent tests on that is looking pretty good. You can imagine we do have people literally strapped in by their seat belts and the screen is right in front of them. So the viewability is pretty strong, the attention is very strong too. So we're able to prove, obviously, that as an extension of television, whether you call that a CTV or digital out-of-home screen, it's a very compelling proposition for a brand, and it's an opportunity for them to tell stories on a pretty dynamic canvas. But yeah, we work with a number of different measurement partners. We continue to expand those partners because we believe that while we can choose ones that we think are good, that's not always going to be everyone's first choice. And so we want to be able to create flexibility and brands and agencies to bring their own partners to the table. And so over time, we'll integrate more and more of those partners so that again, measurability and measurement is enabled for all in the ways that they want.Ilyse Liffreing (13:29):Very cool. You were talking about how connective is offering omnichannel measurement. Are there any surprises that came out of that analysis so far?James Rothwell (13:41):Yeah, I think some of the insights that I've been most intrigued by have been around what I call the traveler mindset, this idea that individuals may act a little differently when they're in the middle of their journey. And a couple of reasons for that hypothesis. I think if you think about maybe you are a business traveler, your company's paying for your flight, your hotel, probably a little bit of your food if not all, while you're gone. I think people think they've got a little extra change in their pocket. Maybe they'll feel a little bit more open to advertising, open to brands being part of that journey and maybe even convinced that they should go out and actually spend some money on that brand. Obviously there's always the opportunity for those people who've got their sunglasses and making that a purchase in the airport, but I think it goes beyond that. What was really intriguing though for me was we did some analysis around business travelers and noticed that business travelers are actually more likely to respond to advertising than leisure travelers, which for me was a little counterintuitive because I thought business travelers might tune that out given how frequent they are. They're more likely to be frequent flyers, right?(14:54):But I think they may be a little bit more attuned to the environment they're in as opposed to maybe a leisure traveler or AER traveler who's going with their family and they're having to look after the kids. They're a little distracted, or maybe they're zoning out because they can't wait to get to the beach or back home, but the business traveler is a little bit more tuned in. And so I think that's why we've seen so much success with B2B brands because of that insight and that response.Ilyse Liffreing (15:24):And to me, it does sound like there's B2B brands are having kind of a moments, and I think this is across all categories, but it sounds like you're seeing that too, that B2B brands are even driven to the plane beer.James Rothwell (15:40):Yeah, I think in general, B2B marketing as digital has matured, B2B marketing looks a lot like B2C marketing. There's not a huge amount of difference. And brands, there are business brands that really invest a significant amount of money in that brand. And you don't have to look too far from across the sports world to see how many brands are investing in high profile sporting events and wanting to reach influencers and business decision makers. I think we have a great audience for that. So I think we are another choice for brands to be able to engage with them.Damian Fowler (16:14):Quick question here. On that note, do you have any brand partnerships with sports teamsJames Rothwell (16:18):At the United level? We do. We work with a number of different teams across the nation, obviously usually associated a lot more aligned with our hubs where we have a lot more exposure. And so yeah, lots of different professional sports teams. And then obviously when it comes to things like NCAA tournaments, we do a lot of fun marketing around that. If your team unexpectedly goes all the way, you're going to have to hop on a plane, well, we can figure we help you out with that, or you can cancel your flight and don't worry about it. We will take care of you if your team crashes out.Damian Fowler (16:55):Moving on here, to zoom out a little bit and look at the landscape, the big picture, as it were from, should we say 30,000 feet? Let's do it. Terrible. I love it. You wouldn't believe how many plane analogy Canal. Get the pun every, I'm sure you can every day. Lemme ask you for your favorite plane analogy at the end ofJames Rothwell (17:10):Something,Damian Fowler (17:11):But you've likened connectives personalization to Netflix's style recommendation engine, but with rich signals as more brands enter the traveler media space, and we don't necessarily have to name them, what do you see as United's distinct advantage?James Rothwell (17:28):I'm going to highlight another partnership here because I think it will illuminate the audience on where this is going. So we announced our partnership with starlink recently, and we are scaling starlink out across the fleet. That will take some time because we have to take those planes out of rotation, install the hardware, but we did a recent test and got hardcore gamers and hardcore streamers, and we were doing shopping and testing it, and they were literally trying to break it and they couldn't break it. And it was absolutely flawless super fast. That is a game changer because now you can do everything on the ground at 30,000 feet. And there's been a lot of questions about, does that mean we're going to have to take Zoom calls on the planes? And the good news is no, I think you can listen, but I don't think you can talk. So that's kind of the rule there. But yeah, we had people FaceTiming with their moms on that flight, but the reason I bring that up is because that is going to effectively create a whole world of hyper-personalization that just wasn't possible before. The technology that again exists at zero feet will be at 30,000 feet. And so you think about what that means from an advertising perspective, every screen becomes addressable. We can do programmatic delivery against thoseSpeaker 4 (18:53):ScreensJames Rothwell (18:54):And we can create shoppable moments, brand integrations. It unlocks a huge amount of content opportunities as well. Now you can stream live sports, you can stream anything you want on the ground in the air. So that's where I think we already have an advantage in that we have an amazing audience, an omnichannel offering and hours of attention. We're going to supercharge that attention with incredible content and amazing brand integration opportunities and advertising opportunities.Damian Fowler (19:25):We have these rapid fire hot seat questions. You're not strapped in or anything, sorry. Terrible. Another airline analogy. This is one we like to ask. What is it that you are obsessed with figuring out right now about the marketplace you're in?James Rothwell (19:40):I'm obsessed with, I think just continuing to find out more about the audience that we get to engage with every day. I have the pleasure of not only being head of marketing for Connected Media, but I also mileage Plus. And so I'm curious every day about how I can understand more about our loyal customers, how we can enrich their experiences with us and enrich their lives more broadly. Because again, it doesn't stop with the journey from others. How do we engage with them in authentic and compelling ways in a very noisy media marketplace, but also try and get them to continue to think about Mileage Plus and the airline on a more regular basis, not just when they have to travel.Ilyse Liffreing (20:29):Yeah. What would you say is missing from the market and needs to be solved?James Rothwell (20:37):What's missing from the market? I don't think it's missing. It just needs to continue to evolve, and that's measurement. I think no one's cracked the code. It feels like every time we get close, the move a little bit, and as more and more first party data driven networks crop up, it becomes more and more relevant for us to solve the attribution game. And I think even when I understood retail media networks to be the answer to all of that because of closed loop attribution, my understanding is that is still not figured out. That's not still solved. And if retailers who operate at that lower end of the funnel and point of sale haven't figured it out, then that's challenging for the industry because we've got a long way to go still.Damian Fowler (21:21):You mentioned you had a favorite. Do you have any favorite airline? Do you have any favorite airline analogies or even jokes?James Rothwell (21:29):I try to avoid the jokes because that's a tricky one. No, I think a lot of what I talked about today, we were excited to announce it. We're still building, so I would say we're still building the plane while we're flying it.Damian Fowler (21:42):That's a good one. Yeah.Ilyse Liffreing (21:42):Yeah, we use that one all the time.Damian Fowler (21:46):In the business, it works very well.Ilyse Liffreing (21:48):Bad worlds, I would say.Damian Fowler (21:54):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (21:56):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by Love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.James Rothwell (22:03):And remember, we did some analysis around business travelers and noticed that business travelers are actually more likely to respond to advertising than leisure travelers.Damian Fowler (22:15):I'm Damian. And I'm Ilyse. And we'll see you next time.

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with LiquidStack CEO Joe Capes about the company's breakthrough GigaModular platform — the industry's first scalable, modular Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) purpose-built for direct-to-chip liquid cooling. With rack densities accelerating beyond 120 kW and headed toward 600 kW, LiquidStack is targeting the real-world requirements of AI data centers while streamlining complexity and future-proofing thermal design. “AI will keep pushing thermal output to new extremes,” Capes tells DCF. “Data centers need cooling systems that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled to match heat rejection demands as they rise.” LiquidStack's new GigaModular CDU, unveiled at the 2025 Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes, delivers up to 10 MW of scalable cooling capacity. It's designed to support single-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling — a shift from the company's earlier two-phase immersion roots — via a skidded modular design with a pay-as-you-grow approach. The platform's flexibility enables deployments at N, N+1, or N+2 resiliency. “We designed it to be the only CDU our customers will ever need,” Capes says. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion, which goes on to explore why edge infrastructure and EV adoption will drive the next wave of sector innovation.
