Hero Media showed up in a big way this year at Cannes Lions. From the inaugural Heroes of Media Dinner to a series of panel conversations and discussions led by our President, Digital Innovation, Lauren Maillian, we certainly made an impact on the Riviera.

Goals House, an internationally renowned community, reunited Tuesday, June 20 during Cannes Lions, bringing together diverse, creative minds for a series of events, alongside the largest gathering of the advertising and creative communications industry.

Our President of Digital Innovation, Lauren Maillian, joined a panel of experts in Goals House’s roundtable discussion on how global marketing leaders can drive inclusive marketing practices, improve representation, boost self-esteem, and foster positive mental health for women globally.

Following this discussion, Maillian was also featured in red carpet special “LinkedIn Top Voices at Cannes’ ‘ and ended the week with Cannes Can: Diversity Collective, on the concept of creator activism and how to build your personal brand with your purpose.

Lauren took the Inkwell Beach towards the end of the week to discuss maximize your personal brand as a diverse creator. She spoke in a fireside style chat with Lola Bakare on her journey of value-first thought leadership
