Today, I’ll represent Channel Factory and join The 614 Group, IPG Mediabrands, TikTok and Kenvue at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on a topic that is dear to me both professionally and personally: Youth Mental Health and How to Protect Youth Online. Professionally, it is critical that we use our reach and power as brands to amplify positivity and constrain negativity through our marketing efforts. It requires intentional effort, but it is the right thing to do for society and it also drives business growth when properly done. Personally, as a father of 10-year-old twins who love to play and spend time online, I invest significant time to educate them about the risks and even to play and watch content together with them to be part of their worlds. I have also tried different tools to ensure the online platforms become a safer environment for them, but the harsh reality is that it is not simple and far from perfect. The research about the impact of time spent online and the impact of the content on youth’s mental health and anxiety is staggering. And we are all responsible for it. It’s time for action.
