A healthy start
Welcome to the first edition of The Daily Digest. We'll be bringing you insights from Cannes Lions Live every day, all week.
In a year that’s been dominated by physical and mental wellbeing, it’s fitting we kick off Cannes Lions Live with the Pharma, Health and Wellness Lions and the Lions Health Grand Prix for Good. Health and Wellness Grand Prix-winner #Wombstories, via AMV BBDO for Libresse, continues the brand's mission to smash taboos around women's bodies, as well as its Lion-winning streak in 2018 and 2019 for Bloodnormal and Viva La Vulva.
Across the Health & Wellness Lions entries, juror Patricia Corsi, Global Chief Marketing and Digital Officer, Bayer Consumer Health, observed a shift in emphasis reflecting change in how people take care of themselves: “Before the pandemic, it was a reactive approach. Now, it's more proactive.”
WGSN’s Future Consumer 2023 keynote, by Carla Buzasi, President & CEO, also referenced this change. Buzasi predicts the rise of ‘structured caring’, linked to the spike in mentions of self-care across social media.

The world’s greatest intelligence platform for creative excellence
And now for other highlights...
Attracting and sustaining attention is an evergreen challenge for brands. More brands are building stakeholder communities, giving audiences multiple reasons to interact and participate. This helps to address the 'vanilla content' issue and gives brands more meaningful roles in people's lives. Burger King is one brand that shared with the Cannes Lions Live audience about how it is investing in building fandoms and benefitting from richer conversations as a result.
“We have a shorthand that our marketing team uses: transforming from a kingdom to a fandom. We want to move away from a kingdom, where communication is one way, towards a fandom, where it’s a two-way conversation, where we communicate and develop new products that are relevant to our guests.”

BRAZE: #BrazeBreakdown
Customer engagement specialist Braze highlights insights from Cannes Lions Live speakers on how tech, data and creative experiences can power growth.
In his Cannes Lions Live talk Consumerism Past, Present and Future: The Next Digital Normal, Ram Krishnan, Global Chief Commercial Officer, PepsiCo, said:
“No longer can we say that digital was a place or a thing. Life has become digital and digital is how we describe our lives.”
Krishnan outlined three transformations that will take place over the next decade.
-Design by data. This is where the democratisation of data will allow for hyper-personalised product, brands and experiences.
-Social will power your business organisation, becoming the premier source for product design and improvements as consumers give feedback, as well as employees giving feedback to employers directly.
-Experience curation allows for more emphasis on consumers' expectations in the virtual world. This could be, for instance, a VR concert.
To hear more from Krishnan about how our digital selves may become more important than our physical selves, watch the video.
