About us
The Cannes Can: Diversity Collective (CC:DC) was conceptualized in 2017 due to the continued conversation regarding the lack of diversity in the Advertising/Marketing Industry. For decades there have been a plethora of industry leaders that have expressed concern regarding this issue. The Cannes Can: Diversity Collective is moving beyond concern to creation, by creating the opportunity for previously absent faces of color and underrepresented communities to be represented at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. CC:DC is creating the opportunity for industry leaders to move beyond concern to creative encounters. Therefore, CC:DC is the conduit by which the concern can be eradicated by developing a synergistic opportunity and atmosphere of exposure, networking and job creation

ECD Executive Creative Director at VML Colombia | Experience creator | CC:DC Cannes Lions Ambassador 2024
Creativity Without Limits I am convinced that creativity knows no bounds. Neither race, nor age, nor gender are limitations when it comes to creativity. On the contrary, these differences are precisely what enhance and enrich the creative process. Each of us brings a unique perspective based on our personal, cultural, and social experiences. This diversity of thoughts and approaches is what makes ideas flourish in innovative and surprising ways. At CC:DC, we celebrate these differences because we know they are the key to achieving truly inclusive and transformative creativity. By joining forces with people from different backgrounds and experiences, we expand our horizons and discover new ways of seeing the world. This not only improves the quality of our creative work but also allows us to connect with more diverse and global audiences. It is vital to recognize and value the contributions of everyone, regardless of their race, age, or gender. At CC:DC, we are committed to promoting a space where every voice is heard and every talent is recognized. Together, we are building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive creative industry where everyone has the opportunity to shine. Creativity knows no limits. Let's celebrate diversity and let every story, every perspective, and every voice enrich the creative world we live in. Cannes Can: Diversity Collective Cannes Lions Colombia VML Adrianne C.

APOLOGIES, A BIT LATE TO THE CANNES POSTS PARTY 🫠🎉 There was was so much to unpack. Maybe one thing that I didn't get around to mentioning, that was a big take away for me, was the celebrating. Advertising can be ruthlessly competitive, but it felt like when Cannes had come around, the work had all been done, the submissions had been made, and it was a time to just celebrate each other. I used to see Cannes as an award show, but being amongst the festivities it was a celebration of not just creativity, but also difference, culture, rule-breakers, young blood, old blood, game-changers, brands, clients, DE&I, etc. Big thank you to Cannes Can: Diversity Collective and Cannes Lions School for shaping my experience and providing such an enriching opportunity. https://lnkd.in/gEtE5rTA

Last week I was honored to speak on my first two Cannes panels! The topic of “Diversity in an AI Driven World” must be elevated. So many DEI leaders - and companies are not properly learning or integrating DEI into their LLM or GenAI models. This convo was incredible - and I’d like to thank Omnicom PR Group and the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective - Adrianne for inviting me to speak - as well as Chris, Ralph, and Joseph for our time invested. I also want to take this moment to openly offer to help support - and speak on this area of DEI and AI. If you are planning to have a confernece, webinar or session in advertising, media or marketing - you can not miss out on covering this topic. If you have not yet experienced the power of Jodie AI: Inclusive AI for Business please reach out to me - for an access code to try it out.

File Under: First Things First - Thank Youuuuu!! At this point, it’s no secret, Cannes Can: Diversity Collective’s Inkwell Beach - Cannes was the place to be on the Croisette at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We had some of the greatest minds in AI, DEI, Culture, Community Building, Entertainment, Healthcare, Marketing, Media and Technology join us each year and it’s really a testament to our partners. Because of our partners, we’ve been able to continuously grow our CC:DC Ambassadors cohort each year, from 5 to 25+ participants from 6 continents. Because of the commitment from our partners and our amazing team of volunteers and leaders, Inkwell Beach - Cannes and the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective have blazed a trail for a more Inclusive and more diverse environment and community as well as prioritized necessary conversations around DEI and more! DEI is not Competitive work it is Imperative work! I(we) am/are eternally grateful for the partners that continue to stand “ten toes” down for the Human Connection Business.
