    At the final awards ceremony of Cannes Lions, the industry's gender imbalance was evident. Alltold's analysis revealed that 69% of the award recipients identified on stage were men. Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, stated, “It doesn’t take AI for anyone to look around us and go, ‘Nothing’s changing in the industry on this front.’” Marla Kaplowitz, CEO of the 4A's, offered hope: “According to The 4A’s Diversity survey—we are seeing an increase in female representation overall, accounting for 61.22% of all surveyed last year. The industry is continuing to make inroads in diversifying the talent mix but we can always do better.” Let’s commit to fostering inclusive environments and ensuring representation at all levels.
