Where better to end our third season than Cannes. But this time we’re here for the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, where the world’s biggest media brands and advertising agencies have decamped on the Croisette in impressive numbers and with even more impressive stands, installations and mega yachts - to woo clients, talk strategy and drink rose in the sun.
My guests this week helping me make sense of Cannes Lions from a content industry perspective are Julian Newby and Andy Fry from the Cannes Lions Daily magazine and Alex Morris, director of LADstudios at LADbible.

We’re doing something slightly different for TellyCast this week - and that’s focusing on the animation sector of the content industry, from MIFA - one the industry’s showcase events, set on the shores of Lake Annecy in France.
Even if you aren’t in the animation game, I’d still recommend having a listen to this week’s show, where I get to chat to some of the industry’s key players on sector trends and the importance of MIFA for the animation industry. There’s lots of parallels and perhaps some insights to take for the rest of the content industry.
Guests are Michael Rose and Martin Pope from Magic Light Pictures, David Park and Debbie Crosscup from Passion Pictures and industry veteran Marge Dean, Emmy-award winning Head of Skybound Entertainments' Animation Studio and President of Women in Animation.
