What a week we had at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, full of supporting, inspiring and campaigning for change alongside many of the brightest and most brilliant voices in the industry. As well as encouraging the industry to respond to all kinds of women's desire to #RepresentMe, we spoke, listened and learned alongside 100 speakers across 25 panels, with around 1000 attendees at the #WACLEmpowerCafe. Huge thanks to WACL-ers Nishma Patel Robb 🪩⚡️ Chloe Davies, Sharon Lloyd Barnes and Lori Meakin and all our partners and collaborators for launching the #WACLRepresentMePledge at the start of the week. And to Louise Watson and Karen Stacey for creating the first ever WACL Empower Cafe, supported by Liz Wilson, Lori Meakin and Susie Safavi. Thank you too to all of our sponsors and partners, without whose support the Cafe would not have happened: see comments for the full list.
