@Cannes_Lions when you join @stagwell at Sport Beach, you get tested mentally and physically! Great memory!!!

[Doug Zarkin @DougZarkin]

@stagwell makes you bring it intellectually AND physically in Cannes.

[Doug Zarkin @DougZarkin]

My first Cannes.
Not defined by yachts or parties. It was the revolving door at the Carlton. The great equalizer. It doesn’t revolve. It negotiates. Because real access? It’s not granted. It’s shared.
Even in Cannes, connection starts before you step inside. #ThinkingHuman

BREAKING: Teenager Almost Admits Parent Might Know Something

My daughter’s in a startup class. A classmate presents—boom, my Brand Love framework, right there on the slide. Not her slide, obviously. That would require divine intervention. But a peer’s? That’s epic! No eye roll

"I'd like to thank the committee… and the algorithm that probably put my name in front of them." Thank you if you’ve collaborated (most critically), challenged (most especially), mentored (most fortunately for me), or supported me in any way. #marketing #brand

Not a nutritionist but I think we can all agree that no one feels good after eating at a buffet. It’s the same for brands and brand marketing. Agree?? #marketing #brand ⁦@ANAmarketers⁩ ⁦@ANACMOMasters⁩ ⁦@BrandInnovators⁩

The look of every parent waiting for this college tour to start is exactly the same. “Am I really going to pay nearly $100k a year x4 so my child can get a job where they make $50k first year if they are lucky!”

[Doug Zarkin @DougZarkin]

Thank You https://t.co/hEF0Cvpaum

Working hard in the offseason. @TheJudge44 how’s his swing look?

Return on Idea: The Real ROI of a Super Bowl Ad. Most will measure it as Return on Investment—But the most successful brands know that the true metric is what I like to call….Return on Idea. The best don’t just sell products; they spark emotion, and become part of culture

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
