Cannes, France , June 18th, 2012 — On Tuesday, June 19 from 12pm-1pm CEST, Cella Irvine, CEO of Vibrant Media, the leading global provider of contextual advertising solutions, will moderate the Havas Café Conversation, “Putting the Consumer First,” at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the world's largest annual awards show and festival for professionals in the creative communications industry. This roundtable discussion presented by MPG Media Contacts at the Havas Café will take place at Le Grand Hôtel in Cannes.
The session will feature Charlie Crowe, the Founder and Chief Executive of C Squared, the international media and marketing industry’s fastest growing publishing and events company; and Allen DeBevoise, the Chairman and CEO of Machinima, the dominant video entertainment network for serious gamers worldwide. The forum will touch on the foundational shifts driven by consumers in the media and advertising landscape.
Irvine, Crowe and DeBevoise, who have spent their careers in leadership roles at the nexus of media, digital and advertising, will offer unique perspectives and key insights on a range of important topics such as:
• What are the most profound changes in media and marketing being driven by Millennials and Digital Natives? How can brands reach and engage this audience?
• How can marketers find and engage consumers without losing their way in a multiplatform, multi-device world?
• What insights can brands leverage from gaming companies?
• We can all remember great TV ad campaigns from 20 years ago, but how many of us can recall a banner ad they saw yesterday? Is great technology replacing the need for great creative?
