Palais des Festivals
Cannes
21 June – 27 June 2009
Come June at the 56th International Advertising Festival, or Cannes Lions, in Cannes, France, Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP Worldwide will be guiding a heavyweight panel of global marketing leaders in a discussion on how the recession is affecting the industry now and how it will shape the future.
Joining Sir Martin on stage will be Marc Pritchard, Global Marketing Officer of P&G; Mary Beth West, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Kraft Foods Inc.; and Mary Dillon, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Marketing Officer of McDonald's Corporation.
"This will be a wonderful opportunity to talk to three of the most powerful CMOs in the world about how they are marketing their companies, products and services through these difficult times. Are they investing more to build brands or cutting back? The three represent 13 billion dollars of worldwide advertising and marketing spend," said Sir Martin.
The Cannes Debate launched in 2005 is a group discussion between the most influential people in the business addressing the most topical issues that are currently affecting the advertising and communications industry.
This year's hour-long debate will take place on Friday, 26 June in the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
Cannes Lions will happen 21 – 27 June, attended by delegates from as many as 94 countries around the world from advertising and allied industries.
