Duy’s favorite seminar of the week was The Coca-Cola Company: New Rules of Marketing and Consumer Engagement featuring Joseph Tripodi,

It is not every day that IPG chairman Michael Roth takes to the stage only to introduce the speakers. Here he is to introduce Shekhar Kapur, the noted Indian film director and Balki (R Balakrishnan), chairman and
creative head of Roth's own agency, Lowe Lintas India.
India was in focus at Cannes, for the first time in 58 years since the festival began in 1954.
Roth noted that the session at Cannes was an indication of the importance of India in the global economy.
He added that his own group, IPG, was committed to India in a big way through Lowe Lintas, which was launched in 1939. Today they handle
about 250 clients – more than what the agency's New York office handles

Evening in Cannes
Day 5 of the festival: A great talk by the acclaimed philosopher and writer Alain de Botton, who was brought to Cannes by Ogilvy & Mather. He drew parallels between advertising and art, which he describes as "the sensory
presentation of an idea."
Alain suggested that much of advertising works at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid and that we need to find a way to work at the top by appealing
more to real needs than to desires. Those needs could address one or more of Epicurus' three key ingredients for happiness - friends, freedom and
thoughtfulness/reflection.
He also talked a lot about the fear of failure, which impedes our creativity, but reassured us that no creativity can occur without that fear and that
nobody can be successful at everything.

The Longest queue to attend Bill Clinton speech
Gen and Duy at the one of highlight in Cannes Lions 2012
with Bill Clinton
There has been much talk in recent times about how the advertising industry could (and should) use its considerable wealth of creativity (and wealth) to help change people’s behavior for the benefit of the world. That message was amplified when
former President Bill Clinton addressed the ad world in Cannes. Invited to the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity by Brazilian media group Grupo ABC, Clinton called on the assembled to channel their creative energy toward coming up with
world-changing ideas.
While Clinton’s message was simple - that those whose with the power to persuade could have great impact when those energies are focused on the greater good - his
impressive insight and global context helped make his point.
