This year at Cannes, we're taking over Microsoft Gardens for one evening to celebrate the brands that are winning, and what other marketers can learn from them.
Opening the night: a conversation between Alvin Bowles, Kantar's Chief Client Officer, and Mark D'Arcy, who leads global creative for Copilot at Microsoft AI - the person shaping how Copilot looks, feels and shows up in the world. A candid look inside one of the most closely watched brand-building exercises happening anywhere right now.
Then you will see Kantar's Blueprint for Brand Growth Awards, including the Most Meaningfully Different Brand, Most Effective Campaign and Excellence in Creator Content - recognising brands who are setting marketing and creativity standards, grounded in the data behind why they are winners.
This coupled with drinks, food, a great DJ - Microsoft Gardens is the place to be on the Croisette that night.
