The Drum at Cannes
This Summer from Cannes, The Drum will serve you the juiciest stories, exclusive interviews and all the insider insights you won't find anywhere else. There might be enough hot air to fly a balloon over the croisette but we’ll have our feet on the ground ready to celebrate the best of creativity and get down to the real business of why marketing is ready for a makeover.
Sunrise and Sunset Sessions
Tune in as The Drum’s editors bring you our twice-daily briefing with special guests. Follow the conversations and find out what’s hot and what’s not in our Cannes special magazine show video series.
The Great Marketing Makeover
Join us as we launch our new editorial movement to makeover marketing. We’re staging an intervention to address the perception of Marketing as a function in crisis. In partnership with Mastercard, The Drum will share the exclusive findings from our initial research and host a kick off discussion with leaders from the ANA, Qualcomm and more.
Complete Cannes coverage
Our journalists will bring you the big stories from this year's festival on our dedicated hub on thedrum.com, across our social platforms, and in our newsletters. Look out for exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes features and sharp analysis from our editors and reporters on the ground.
Out and About
At our Cannes home just off the Croissette, or across our partners yachts, penthouses, beaches and Cabanas, we’ll capture the content that matters from the who’s who of media and marketing scene.
