Anthony Hill’s Post

Last week, I had the chance to travel to #Cannes. I learned so much and met some great people. Here were my highlights and top takeaways: 💡 If you ever get invited to Julie Thompson’s VIP Dinner, you go. 💡 Brands are leaning into performance marketing and if done correctly, they’ll learn about the consumer and build their brand that way. Uber Advertising is in prime position… it’s hard to beat the ability to advertise at the point of hunger. 💡 75% of my meetings came back to two themes: Cultural relevancy and authenticity. 💡 AI found its way into almost every conversation. A lot of conflicting opinions but one thing remained true, it cannot replace our ability to feel, connect, and create (see authenticity point above). Best said, “with AI, mediocrity is now free” - Kaleeta McDade. 💡 One last universal sales truth, it is always a good idea to strike up a conversation with a stranger Truly a blessing to have experienced this and I look forward to sharing my thoughts from future Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity!

I’m looking forward to seeing some great people next week at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. If you’re going to be there, reach out and let’s find some time to connect!

Our stats 4 episodes in: 6 Super Bowl rings, 20 Pro Bowls, 3 Hall of Famers, and countless classic stories. I’ve made some good memories with my dad so far filming Breakfast with the Boys. Check out last week’s episode with Roger Staubach. Link to the channel in the comments!

A few months ago, I started a podcast with my dad called "Breakfast with the Boys". It's been cool catching up with his old teammates and friends while they share some never before told stories. If you're a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or just enjoy a good laugh, then we’ve got something for you. Check out this clip between my dad Tony Hill and HOFer Tony Dorsett, thanks to the folks at Murray Media Link in the comments. Looking forward to sharing more with you all as we have some great guests in the coming weeks! #podcast #cowboys #neverbeforeheard #fatherandson

As a kid, I learned that team with no composure or discipline, has no leadership. If a coach or team captain panics when things get difficult, so will the team. I thought this to be the law of the land, until I got to the corporate world. The best leaders I’ve been around have an uncanny ability to remain steadfast under duress, but the worst... they fold like lawn chairs when things go left. Their demeanor changes. Body language and facial expressions exude stress. They lose the ability to be empathetic and begin to lead with fear. When things get hard, pay close attention to the people you look up to. I promise you will learn a lot. In my opinion the best leaders are able to do three things: stand tall in the midst of adversity, encourage those around them regardless of the situation, and constantly put people in positions to succeed. For me, I want to know who I am with during the hard times. It's essential to evaluate who you spend time with and why. During tough times, you have to know who you're with. What qualities do you all look for in a leader?
