Two weeks ago today, the Kickback returned to the Croisette! The first #Juneteenth celebration to be led at Cannes Lions! The first to be the official Cannes Lions Juneteenth event. Three years running! 🗣️I say this with deep pride—and an even deeper appreciation for those who saw the vision and have helped make it happen year after year! Building anything unique and truly #impactful in this industry is often met with challenges—and every year I have had to fight to bring an authentic #Juneteenth experience to #canneslions. To create a space for Black leaders to celebrate abroad and brand leaders to learn through immersion. To help global brands that target the #Black #American audience recognize the holiday’s far reaching implications beyond a single country. To help bring awareness to the fact that engaging in cultural moments and holidays is essential to building socially conscious and humanized brands that resonate with diverse audiences worldwide! This year, with the partnership of Assembly Global’s Global CMO, Bria Bryant and the aide of our agencies, we were able to breathe life into to an experience, informed by our childhood Juneteenth celebrations, to the South of France. A huge thank you to the Brands&Culture Villa for hosting us this year, to Shaun Principato for upleveling the branding time after time, and to DJ Mercedes Benson for curating the vibes! Celebrating with you all was a privilege and an honor. Until next year . . . 🥂 See all of the images from the event, at the 🔗: https://lnkd.in/ed9wt68i #cannes #canneslions #canneslions2024 #juneteenth2024 #freedomday Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity Ad Age PRWeek Campaign US ADWEEK
