Cannesversations Brings Bold New Voices to Cannes Lions 2025
CommPRO is proud to unveil Cannesversations, an exclusive content series and video initiative launching in tandem with the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place the week of June 16, 2025. This platform will amplify top industry voices, spotlight transformative brand storytelling, and create space for meaningful dialogue during the world’s premier gathering of advertising and communications leaders.
From daily editorial features to high-impact video interviews, Cannesversations is designed to keep the CommPRO audience — a community of 14,000+ marketing, PR, and corporate communications professionals — fully immersed in the festival’s biggest ideas and events. The series will center on creativity, innovation, and the rapidly evolving marcomms landscape.
A major highlight of Cannesversations is the debut of the Communications Town Hall at Cannes Lions, taking place June 18, and themed around “Innovations in MarComms.” This dynamic event will be hosted by Paul Kontonis, former CMO of Revry and now CMO-in-Residence at CommPRO and Fabric Media. The Town Hall will bring together industry leaders from PR, Marketing, CommsTech, and Executive Communications to engage in an open, forward-looking conversation on the trends transforming the industry.
“Now more than ever, we need brave, cross-disciplinary dialogue about what’s next in marketing and communications,” said Paul Kontonis. “This Town Hall is about sharing real insights, not just soundbites, and giving the community a platform to shape the future together.”
Fay Shapiro, Publisher of CommPRO, added: “With Cannesversations and the Town Hall, we’re expanding the role of media — not just to cover Cannes Lions, but to shape what happens there. This is about putting the smartest people in the room and amplifying their thinking to the world.”
CommPRO will also host on-site executive video interviews from its professional studio in Cannes, delivering impactful conversations with forward-thinking leaders. These interviews will be featured across CommPRO’s online coverage, daily newsletters, and social media channels.
Select organizations can align with Cannesversations through an exclusive partnership package that includes two executive video interviews, editorial placements, and visibility in the weeks leading up to the festival.
