Can AI create a Cannes-winning campaign? 🦁 At the MMA DACH CONNECT CANNES Networking Cocktail during Cannes Lions, Verena Gründel sat down with Greg Stuart, CEO of MMA Global—and his answer was crystal clear: Yes. Greg believes there's no reason AI couldn't generate a truly compelling creative idea. What matters most isn't who creates the ad; it's whether it moves people and motivates them to act. His message? Marketing is entering a new era, and it's time to rethink what's possible. Do you agree— and would it be fair if an AI-campagne won a Cannes Lion? 👇 #DMEXCO #DMEXCO26 #CannesLions #AI #Creativity #Marketing

Turns out, London wasn't just calling. It had a lot to say. 🇬🇧 Last week, Verena Gründel joined MAD//FEST London to step outside the day-to-day of our industry, challenge assumptions and bring back the ideas that deserve a bigger stage. 👉 Because the best way to understand where marketing is heading is to leave your own bubble every once in a while. 🫧 A huge thank you to Dan Brain, Ian Houghton and the entire MAD//Fest team for another inspiring edition and a partnership that keeps pushing our industry forward.
