Impact Development Management, LLC’s Post

It’s been a few weeks since I left #Cannes, and as I reflect on my time there this year, I’m feeling a bit mixed about the overall experience. First, I’m incredibly proud of our work with Stagwell #SportsBeach to deliver a unique #ClioAwards experience. I love what their team builds out each year because it leans into the world of sports and gives athletes a space to play. It moves beyond just showing up and having vendor meetings and truly demonstrates who they are and what they can do. In giving out Clios to athletes, we’re honoring them in a relevant location outside of the awards shows, adding value in helping them meet with the brands that are already there. It’s a win/win for everyone, especially since we are a global company and it gave us the opportunity to connect with everyone in one place. That said, it felt like a lot of the build outs and beachfront takeovers took away from some of the magic that is Cannes. I loved what Pinterest did in their space, which was inherently creative and maker-driven, but found many other spaces to be lacking. So many of the spaces were self-promotional networking/meeting areas vs. spaces that truly nurture and elevate creativity - I felt this way, and while I saw all of them from the outside, I didn’t personally go in and experience every one. We all know it’s an amazing week with highly engaged creative and marketing leaders. Still, I’d love to hear about what some of the brands/companies who do build-outs are trying to get out of it - is it about nurturing a client base, securing new client partners, or is there something else? What did you see and how do you feel things went this year? #Advertising #Marketing #ClioAwards #Leadership

In the fast-paced world of athletics and marketing, collaborations between iconic figures and brands have the power to transcend mere sponsorship agreements. The recent partnership between track and field sensation Sha’Carri Richardson and global beverage brand Sprite is a testament to this transformative potential, inspiring a new generation of trailblazers. At the heart of this collaboration lies a shared commitment to authenticity, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression. Sha’Carri Richardson, known for her electrifying speed on the track and her unapologetic embrace of individuality, embodies the spirit of breaking barriers and defying expectations. Her journey, marked by triumphs and challenges alike, serves as a powerful narrative of perseverance in the face of adversity. Likewise, Sprite, with its legacy of championing authenticity and celebrating diverse voices, emerges as the perfect partner to amplify Richardson's message of empowerment. Joining forces allows them to spark meaningful conversations and drive positive change on and off the track. In today's world, consumers crave authenticity. They seek brands and personalities that are genuine, transparent, and unafraid to speak their truth. As authenticity continues to reign supreme, partnerships should be built on shared values in order to be more impactful than ever. #marketingstrategy #empowerment #brandpartnerships #shacarririchardson #spritecampaign #authenticmarketing #brandcollaboration

Hats off to our creative Employer Brand Manager, Helen Velichko!👏 Helen joined us just a couple of months ago and has already launched several new projects and initiatives. She is rocking with ambitious plans and looking for teammates to help fulfil the big goals! Let's talk about why it's awesome to have Helen in our team: She's pumping life into our communications, elevating the employee experience, and spreading the Risk word worldwide. Helen leverages the power of personal stories to let us know each other better and refine our bonds. As Helen puts it, "Leading a team is like a rowing tournament. You can have star athletes, but without coordination, you won't get far. With a well-synchronised team, you can cross channels and conquer oceans." She believes iGaming is the industry of quick decisions and unconventional approaches for those ready to steer that rowing boat through splashy waves. 🚣 Would you risk joining Helen's team? We'll share more details on this soon! #employeebranding #riskinc #creativity #igaming #innovation

We are a high performance sports team. And we play to win. Humanz 🏀 I’ve heard it said that work is like your family. I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve learned that this year, and you might think “that’s harsh” but it couldn’t be truer. Your work team is there to perform. You don’t always have to be best friends. You have to respect one another’s game, and play together often and hard enough that your skills rub off on one another. Your teammates are there to celebrate wins with you, learn from losses, be continually coached, and set big hairy audacious goals together. If you don’t perform you get benched (facts) and if you score beyond expectations you win championships and take home trophies. We’ve been doing a lot of that lately and we plan on doing a whole lot more. But at the end of the day when the dust settles and you walk off the court, you run into the arms of your loved ones and relish the sweet serenity of rest with them. They’re your confidants and they have your back through every win and every loss. And that’s a magnificent thing when you get it right. A family who supports what you do, and how hard you play, and is screaming in the crowd for your next three pointer. This is a massive shoutout to my high performance sports team. The ones who work overtime when no one is watching. The ones who live and breathe their clients’ brands. The ones who remember our influencers’ birthdays and support each creators’ career goals. You’re the ones worth laying it all on the court for. And I can’t wait to do it all over again in Jan.
