  1. AI, Entertainment, and Everything In Between: La Fin at Camp Cannes

    AI, Entertainment, and Everything In Between: La Fin at Camp Cannes

    We’ve hit the final episode of Camp Cannes Roll Call, and the BarkleyOKRP village goes out on a high (and hilariously sleep-deprived) note. Mariah Haberman hosts our last fireside chat from the French Riviera with Katy Hornaday, Nate Swift, and Sean Corcoran. From luggage drama to media magic, the crew dishes on their biggest takeaways, Cannes MVP moments, and what they’re bottling up (not rosé, Sean) to bring back to the Midwest. There’s one last roll call, one chaotic word game, and a whole lot of optimism about the future of creativity, media, and Big Indie ambition.

    Croissant S’mores, AI Bands, and Extinct Beasts: Day 4 Dispatch from Camp Cannes

    Day 4 from Camp Cannes brought the heat—and not just the Mediterranean sun. Mariah, Katy, Nate, Sean, and special guest Nicole Portwood (CMO at Suja Life) rallied around the campfire to break down the Fizz FM campaign for Slice—a nostalgia-fueled AI radio station built in a lightning-fast two weeks with BarkleyOKRP and Google. From Lo-Fi beats to 40 original songs about soda, the work sparked conversation not just for its creativity, but for doing something AI literally made possible for the first time. We also get honest, audacious takes on what AI can and shouldn’t do, dinner with the Clios, optimism from DeepMind, extinct animals, and hot dogs that slay.

  3. AI-AI-Oh! CEOs and Walkin’ Jeans. A Day 3 Review at Camp Cannes

    AI-AI-Oh! CEOs and Walkin’ Jeans. A Day 3 Review at Camp Cannes

    Day three at Camp Cannes was anything but chill. Between panels, croissants, and one unfortunate pre-dessert cheese incident, the BarkleyOKRP crew dug into work that went deep and got people talking—like balloon installations spotlighting teen mental health and a Vaseline hackathon turned influencer marketplace. The crew tackled AI anxiety, risk-taking brands, and the power of long-term agency-client trust, all before logging 25,000 steps in jeans. Also? Snail mail. Real(ish) snail mail.

  4. Aggressive Fish, Glitter Bunnies and Climbing the Walls (Literally): Camp Cannes Day Deux

    Aggressive Fish, Glitter Bunnies and Climbing the Walls (Literally): Camp Cannes Day Deux

    Day two at Camp Cannes Roll Call kicks off with three hours of sleep, one missing gate clicker, and a glitter-suited bunny sighting. Amid jet lag and iced latte revelations, the BarkleyOKRP crew recaps a jam-packed day—highlighted by an intimate leadership lunch with Charles Day, an inspiring story from Tubi’s CMO playbook, and a reminder that creativity, connection, and the occasional Viking-style fish entrée still cut through. And yes, the tote bags were a hit.

  5. Jet Lag & Surly Seagulls: A Very BarkleyOKRP Cannes Kickoff

    Jet Lag & Surly Seagulls: A Very BarkleyOKRP Cannes Kickoff

    Welcome to Camp Cannes Roll Call, where the luggage is missing, the seagulls are thieving, and the creative conversations are somehow still flowing. In our kickoff episode, Mariah wrangles the crew—Katy, Nate, and Sean—for a casual debrief from the Côte d’Azur. We talk flooded hotel rooms, jet lag, rose-fueled crafting, and what it means to show up in Cannes with Midwest soul and creative ambition. There’s honesty, there’s audacity, there’s even some shopping-for-bras. It’s very us.
