After catching his breath, he sat down with Campaign Asia-Pacific to discuss elevating Chinese work to Cannes Lions, his fascination with tech, and the importance of whole-heartedly embracing Gen Z opinions: https://lnkd.in/gtmrXbg4

As we begin to catch up from the exhilaration, energy and well-earned exhaustion that makes #Cannes, I want to share some of my thoughts that I hope will live beyond the week. 1. Latino unity and pride became Latino community and productivity at Cannes. As more and more #Latinos reclaim our #Latinidad, we are inspired and uplifted by each other. When we actively come together as a community we create the kind of critical mass we need, build our own networks, and drive progress together. It is reinforcing to engage as a group. Our shared voice empowers and emboldens our individual voices. 2. Partnerships are best when they are allyships. Without question, we took greater flight at Cannes this year because we had partners who not only showed up but sponsored our events, participated in them, opened up their audiences to ours. I want to call out Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity's Chair, Philip Thomas, as well as Republica Havas, Procter & Gamble, National Football League (NFL), LERMA/. @MEL, REMEZCLA Media Group, Malka and Nielsen. The sponsorships made our work possible. Their belief in us helped us soar. 3. The facts fuel the future. We came to Cannes with a solid business case for the Latino market —data about our $3.4 trillion purchasing power and our $3.2 billion GDP. We drew the arc for the future, that our 20% population, which is the youngest and fastest-growing will grow to 30% of the population in the future. Data makes storytelling powerful and persuasive. 4. Diversity isn’t an add-on. #Marketers who not only understand their consumers but reflect their values are rewarded with sales, profits and long-term brand loyalty. So, for all the noise and backlash about DEI, take a look — the best of the best companies understand that inclusivity is not a box to tick, it’s a smart business strategy. Marketing is about the future and Latinos are the future. 4. We must keep driving Latino visibility on global platforms. It is important for us to be in all the rooms where it happens — not just Cannes but also Davos and Advertising Week and any other platform where we can and must be part of the discussion. We also have to show up for each other. It is important for us to learn and listen from each other, build an agenda together and speak from the same script. Cannes was successful by so many measures. The relationships between Latinos and brands, agencies, media and technology are being built and fortified all the time. Our shared interests create a win for everyone and together we can write a future that is productive, prosperous and purposeful for all.

How well does our creativity perform on the global stage? If you believe we lead, this is for you. I dropped in on a research led discussion by the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) feat. The CEO of the BPI Dr Jo Twist OBE (she/her) and Caroline Rush CEO British Fashion Council. This is what I heard. For all our soft power as a nation we have a very siloed approach to culture, tech and creativity. This is in stark contrast to trailblazing nations like South Korea who make no distinction and encourage culture and optimise tech to fuel ALL aspects of creativity, from digital content and gaming to music, film and fashion. Whilst K- pop entertainment might not be our cultural cup of tea. The statistics don't lie - the UK is losing out. We shine in our ability to create, market, advertise and manage relationships. C'mon government give us the power to get our creative goods out to the world before it's too late. Newcastle University The RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce)

Representation matters, even in the world or professional speaking! Every time I speak at corporate events, there would always be a few Asians in the audience come to me afterward and say this: “I’m so glad to hear your inspiring message. I’ve never seen Asian professional speakers before, let alone good ones like you.” It sounds flattering, but it’s not a good thing. In the speaking world, there are so few speakers who look like me and talk like me. When I go to speaker conferences and seminars, I see so few fellow Asians. Representation matters, not just in tech workforce, or science and math, or entrepreneurship, but also in the world of thought leadership, authors and speakers. We need to let people and ourselves know that on stage, we can also captivate audiences, tell amazing stories, and impact minds. In this AAPI heritage month, I implore every Asian person who has unique ideas, life-changing systems or stories, anyone who has something to say, train themselves in public speaking and find speaking opportunities. Becoming a world-class speaker is NOT easy. It takes years and decades of crafting and innovation. But, we need more people like you. Your fellow members of the Asian community need people like you. Your presence matters. Your idea matters. Your voice matters! Thank you BigSpeak Speakers Bureau for representing me. Thank you Ascend , Moss Adams, Google, USANA Health Sciences , Northwestern Mutual , World Financial Group (WFG) , Nationwide , Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business , Databricks , Visa , Thermo Fisher Scientific , and all the organizations who have hired me for your Asian communities. Your partnerships also matter.
We're excited to honor Asian Heritage Month with a lineup of extraordinary speakers, including tech innovators, bestselling authors, activists, and more! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/gXnTDsKr Jia Jiang, Guy Kawasaki, Tan Le Michelle Gustafsson, Cara Tracy, CMP, CMM, Julie Whalen

The WHY is powerful. Understanding motivation and how minds work are powerful. Love how creativity is defined as connector, of various different minds. There are multiple ways to reach out to people. Creativity is finding the one that works. Creative empathy is finding the connection that works. #marketing #creativity #creativeempathy #connection
How does creativity drive connectivity? Kicking off Cannes Lions 2024, Accenture Song‘s Nick Law unpacks the power of creative empathy. Watch Festival talks wherever you are until 12 July with the Digital Pass | lnkd.in/efvdhdki #CannesLions2024
