' Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is still the only truly global celebration of the absolute best work that our industry is capable of, and in my view it’s a must-attend for everybody. I coach and advise a number of leaders of small to midsize agencies and holding companies, and for their business development and agency growth goals, I always recommend attending Cannes, even (and especially) if they’ve never been. It’s the one week of the year where you can find pretty much everybody in our industry and everybody on the client side all in the one place, so for biz-dev goals, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Plus, you don’t have to rent a beach to get noticed. Demonstrate precisely what Cannes celebrates -- extremely ingenious strategy + highly creative execution -- and you can impose yourself on the landscape of Cannes to generate buzz, chatter and media coverage to further those goals.'

It’s simple: Purpose is effective when purpose is done for a brand and company whose values and intentions are authentic.

Not sure we could have said it any better: "One of the largest integrated marketing agencies in the Southwest, blending high-level issues management counsel with robust services across digital/social, branding/creative, media buying and analytics ... a hybrid agency that remains as comfortable producing paid content as it is in the earned media realm and combining the creativity of a hot consumer shop with the strategic savvy of a corporate communications firm." #PR #marketing #integrated #comms #media #social #analytics

I hope everyone (at least my Northern Hemisphere friends) had a great summer. Taking a break from social media was just what I needed! But, now we're back with the Nice Guy/Gal Awards. For those of you who aren't familiar with the awards, we are looking to celebrate those people in our lives who are good people. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great week, everyone.   https://lnkd.in/efTdSmWY #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

In an age where social media and societal expectations often push us to conform, Oscar Wilde's advice remains more relevant than ever. "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken" is not just a catchy phrase; it’s a powerful reminder that our individuality is our greatest asset. Do you want to learn more?

The ShowHeroes team is currently at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and CEO Ilhan Zengin has thoughts on this year’s atmosphere.
