In a challenging decade for media, New York Times President and CEO Meredith Kopit Levien and Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff have bucked trends and found ways to grow their respective organizations.  Meredith has overseen a massive expansion of the Times' digital subscriber base since becoming CEO in 2020. And after spending decades scaling up Vox Media, Jim is splitting the company between James Murdoch's Lupa Systems and Penske Media Corporation. In a live interview recorded at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in Cannes, France, Kara talks to Jim and Meredith about how they've adapted to a changing media landscape and the effects of AI on the publishing business. They also talk about the importance of independent journalism, the waning public trust in media, and how news organizations can earn it back. (A note to listeners: Vox Media is the parent company of the Vox Media Podcast Network, which produces “On with Kara Swisher.”)  Questions? Comments?

In a Cannes Lions special, PRWeek's Beyond the Noise speaks to communications professionals from Edelman, Burson and Smarts about this year's Festival.Ahead of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which starts on Monday (22 June), PRWeek UK spoke to Edelman's international chief creative officer, international, Kate Stanners, alongside Burson's chief strategy officer, Eleanor Sullivan, and Smarts' brand futures director, Natalie Moores.Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest communications and PR issues. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen in the browser above or on your favourite platform.The trio discuss what they are looking forward to at this year's event, whether purpose-led campaigns will win big this year, and the impact of AI technology. They also offer advice on how to get the most out of the festival from a business perspective.Asked whether the festival may look a bit extravagant in 2026, especially given industry consolidation and cost-cutting, alongside the ongoing geopolitical strife, the professionals share their thoughts. As part of the episode, the three comms pros debate earned creativity within the PR Lions, and if the lines between PR and advertising have blurred. Stanners, who spent two decades at advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi before joining Edelman last year, dismissed the idea of a turf war between PR and advertising agencies.“There is a school of thought where advertising agencies are saying: ‘Watch out, PR companies, we know how to do it,'” she said. “I think, interestingly, it's the wrong discussion to have. This is about recognising the power of a very different media landscape.”In the discussion, Stanners argued that audience behaviour increasingly favours earned communications over traditional advertising.“Ninety-nine per cent of people would like to skip the ads if they could, so that tells us a huge amount,” she said. “People are significantly more likely to trust work that comes in an earned space, which also tells us a huge amount.” PR retains a unique advantage in creating earned impact, added Stanners. “It is a battleground, probably, for all sorts of businesses to be playing in. But a truly earned piece of work plays slightly differently.”The three professionals assess the festival's updated guidelines, introduced following controversies at last year's awards, and whether they will prove effective.And the panel members share their own experiences at Cannes and outline the criteria they use to evaluate what makes a standout PR campaign.  Hosted on Acast.

Today we're talking about one of the most stressful financial moments in a young person's life — that gap between graduation and a real paycheck.My guest is Jahleane Dolné, founder of the Postgrad Playbook, a media platform and community helping Gen Z navigate the years right after college — the job search, the identity shift, the moving back home. All of it.Because here's the thing: we tend to assume young people will figure it out. No mortgage, no kids — they'll be fine. But this transition is one of the most underserved in our culture, and the job market right now is making it even harder. New grads are spending six months, a year, sometimes two years searching. Many end up in jobs that don't require the degree they just paid six figures for.Jahleane has been there. She's a UC Santa Barbara grad, daughter of Haitian immigrants, and she found her way through a sales career, a TikTok community, a $20 LinkedIn course — and eventually, a mission. Today she's sharing the playbook: how to position yourself for work, network without cringing, think about grad school strategically, and why a year in sales might be the best investment a twenty-something can make. More about Jahleane: She is the founder of The PostGrad Playbook, a media company building the definitive guide for life after college and helping young professionals navigate careers, identity shifts, and the moments between milestones that nobody prepares them for.She was named a Future Voice at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and her work has led to partnerships with brands including LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Fide. Her insights have been featured in Ad Age, Business Insider, The New York Times, Essence, AfroTech, and LinkedIn News. Across social media and The PostGrad Playbook newsletter, she has built a community of ambitious professionals seeking practical strategies for creating opportunities in a rapidly changing world.Jahleane's socials  Instagram | TikTok | LinkedInThe PostGrad Playbook: Website | Instagram Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand.

In about five weeks, adland will take over a small resort city in the south of France for a weeklong industry bonanza. The 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is on the horizon, slated for the last full week of June and rest assured, the medical marketing community will be there in force.  Nearly one month ago, the juries for Health & Wellness Lions and the Pharma Lions were announced, featuring a few North American-based creatives, including Chris Charles, executive creative director of Real Chemistry subsidiary 21Grams. You might remember Chris and his team for their Gold Pharma Lions-winning work on behalf of Biogen for Friedreich's Back, a darkly humorous campaign focused on the often terminal, rare condition Friedreich's ataxia. For this week's episode, Chris joins executive editor Jack O'Brien for a conversation about the early stages of the sizable task undertaken by the Cannes pharma jury and what trends he's keeping an eye on as they analyze the nominated work.  He also reflects on the success of Frederich's Back and why Cannes is important to pharma marketers.

We highlight some standout campaigns, starting with Dove's 'Real Beauty' campaign developed by Ogilvy New York with Pinterest.

Here are some deets fresh off the Croisette from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity—basically the ad industry's Oscars but also the global epicenter of brand culture—that happened in mid-June. Brands, marketers, ad agencies, tech companies, platforms, people from entertainment and sports, and anyone and everyone part of the brand world ecosystem were there. To make sense of it all, or at least a good portion of it, I called up Tim Nudd, creativity editor at Ad Age and a journalist who's been covering and commenting on this industry for longer than almost anyone. In a conversation that included inside scoops, gossip, and good stories, Nudd and I talked about what impressed him most, what surprised him, and what he's hearing we can expect from major brands heading into the second half of the year. Then, I really wanted to find out how Expensify landed the real estate on Brad Pitt's chest for the new blockbuster film F1. Expensify's chief financial officer Ryan Schaffer, and Hannes Ciatti, founder and head creative at ad agency Alto, gave me the inside story of how the brand got such a prominent role, including a scene in which they shoot an Expensify commercial in the film. This is getting under the hood on 1,000-horsepower product placement.

Over the weekend, while the world was transfixed by war in the Middle East, the Tesla Robotaxi quietly appeared on the streets of Austin, Texas. It didn’t stay quiet for long, though. As a handful of Tesla influencers filmed themselves driven through the streets of the red state’s famously blue capital, their smartphone videos caught plenty of traffic violations. In this week’s episode David Papadopoulos is joined by Max Chafkin as well as Bloomberg electric vehicles reporter Kara Carlson to break down the launch. Years in the making, and with rivals like Waymo already familiar sights in some big US cities, will Elon Musk be able to spin this as something other than a tepid attempt at catch-up? Tesla investors seem to think so: the stock jumped 8.2% on Monday. Papadopoulos and Chafkin are then joined by Bloomberg social media reporter Kurt Wagner, just back from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Wagner discusses X’s participation, or rather absence, from the all-important advertising event, and goes through how Musk’s embattled social media platform has reportedly tried to strong-arm advertisers to return by threatening lawsuits. This prompted Papadopoulos to speculate about the equivalent situation for hot dog vendors or shovel salesmen. Lastly, the crew discuss a few additional news item from the week, namely an exploding SpaceX rocket and the recent report that Musk doesn’t use a computer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amid the AI hype, increasingly fragmented media marketplace and economic headwinds, marketers this year came to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity looking for answers. For Carly Carson, PMG's head of integrated media, this year's festival served as a temperature check for an industry in flux. As the book closes on another Cannes Lions, Carson has pocketed three takeaways: AI still needs a human infusion, Garbage in, garbage out and Ad dollars need to keep up with changing consumption habits.

Today's creators are rewriting the rules, reshaping culture, and setting the stage for the future of media. YouTube creators and podcasters Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry join The Post's Dave Jorgenson from Cannes to break down the evolution of the creator economy (00:05:53), balancing business with authenticity (00:09:40), the rise of personalized AI-driven content (00:25:43), and why “YouTube is the new TV” (00:31:48). Conversation recorded on Monday, June 16, 2025 at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

A few years ago, Twitter Beach was one of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity places to be. Nowadays, the beach and Twitter execs are harder to find. Instead of the flashy fireside chats and branded lounges, X's execs are found behind closed doors, quietly courting marketers and media buyers against a backdrop of lawsuits, Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM)'s disbanding and political crosshairs. It's a clear sign that the platform's role in the ad ecosystem– and culture overall–has dramatically shifted. In this episode of the podcast, platforms reporter Krystal Scanlon joins host Kimeko McCoy about Twitter, now X, and what its retreat from the Cannes beachfront says about its relationship with advertisers, as well as TikTok's head in the sand mentality around the ban.

In this lively episode of the Sleeping Barber Podcast, hosts Marc, Vassilis, and special guest Conor Byrne (That's What I Call Marketing) recap their first two days at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Broadcasting from Cannes (though not from a yacht), they reflect on standout sessions, evolving industry trends, and a few jetlag-fueled laughs.Key takeaways include:Karen Nelson-Field & Adam Morgan delivered a memorable session with a multisensory activation that literally smelled like burning money—an impactful metaphor for wasted media spend.In the CMO Series, leaders from Amex, Nestlé, and Infosys emphasized creativity as a business asset, curiosity as a leadership trait, and the importance of having strong (but flexible) opinions.AI's evolving role in creative production was a major theme. From email polish to strategic structure, the hosts discuss how they and others are using AI in real life.Tom Roach's 5 creative principles emphasized platform-native content, imaginative repetition, and AI-driven consistency.The crew raved about focused, single-presenter talks (like the one from YouTube CEO Neal Mohan) over large panels.A new segment, “From the Basement,” highlights standout creative campaigns like Heinz's global storytelling and TELUS' Gamer RX mental health initiative.The hosts also share fun Cannes moments—from bumping into industry legends like Marcus Collins and David Tiltman to butchering French while ordering croissants.This episode is a sharp, entertaining look at Cannes culture, creativity, and community—with a balance of insight and good-natured chaos.Don't miss our behind-the-scenes video from the early days in Cannes — now live on YouTube.Watch here: https://youtu.be/ePbGlArqTd4Also, have a listen to Conor's "That's What I Call Marketing Podcast" - https://open.spotify.com/show/7MXhujDpTzbSRRbyQFgdWp?si=fc21f7da63c74f5a
