Word of Mouth — a Word on the Curb brunch · Cannes

​Cannes is loud. This won’t be.

​On Wednesday 24th June, while the festival is at full volume, we’re carving out a couple of hours to slow it right down.

​Over a 3-course brunch at Campaign House, we’ll be bringing together a small group of senior brand and agency leaders to discuss something the industry still gets wrong more often than it admits: what actually makes a brand matter to young people.

​Our soon-to-be-published 2026 Brands Cultural Relevance Report will be the starting point — but really, this is about the room. A sharper, slower conversation with people who are responsible for understanding culture, building brands and engaging the next generation of consumers.

​🍽️ The Meal
A proper 3-course brunch, a proper sit-down, and a much-needed pause from the chaos of Cannes.

​🗣️ The Room
A carefully curated group of senior brand and agency leaders exchanging honest perspectives on youth, culture, creativity and relevance — without the performative panel energy.

​🃏 The Report, in your hands
Guests will receive a physical card set from our 2026 Brands Cultural Relevance Report — designed to turn the thinking into practical prompts, provocations and actions you can actually take back into the business. No pitch, no panels that just agree with each other, no badge-scanning, just a genuinely good conversation with people worth meeting.

​Hosted by Sophie Derham and Hayel Wartemberg over proper food and a proper sit-down, in partnership with Campaign at Campaign House.

​We're keeping it intimate, so spaces are limited and we confirm guests individually. Request a place below and we'll be in touch.
