Digital Voices is an award-winning global influencer marketing agency that drives growth for brands. Since launching in 2017, the agency has grown to an international team of over 90 people, with offices in the USA and UK. We align interests with our clients by guaranteeing results for every campaign - so that we only win when the client wins
Q> Who will be on the LBB Beach representing your company?
We have a large group of us attending from the agency, as we are running a bar takeover at LBB on 20th June which will include massages and smoothies in the morning, and cocktails in the afternoon! This includes our CEO and founder, Jennifer Quigley-Jones, and COO Georgia Goodwin, along with Peter Bamforth, head of creative strategy, Danielle Weaver, sales VP, and Olivia Farr, business development manager who are all keen to talk to brands about their influencer marketing strategy. Andre Veiga, partnerships director, will be spending time meeting up with reps from the social platforms and sharing insights on best practices, whereas Lewis Tickner, account director will be looking after our clients who are attending this year. Kerry Meakins, head of marketing, will be leading events and activations, and Arthur Barker, videographer will be snapping content throughout the week.
Q> Who are you hoping to meet on LBB Beach? Individuals and/or company roles, companies, or anyone else?
We hope to meet senior marketers from global brands, particularly those looking to enhance or adapt their influencer strategy. We’re also super excited to meet like-minded marketers, to find and share insights and inspiration.
Q> Are you hosting any events on LBB Beach, or elsewhere in Cannes during the week?
We’ll be taking out a small group on a trip outside of Cannes and talking on a panel or two!
Q> What are you most looking forward to about Cannes in 2024?
Influencer Marketing had a large presence at Cannes in 2023, so we’re excited to see that expand further this year through activations, panels and inspiring Cannes Lions award wins.
Q> What do you think will be the hottest topics this year on the Croisette?
Three things should dominate the Creator Economy marketing topics:
1. AI of course! It wouldn’t be a marketing festival without mentioning it, and its impact on creativity.
2. There might be a lot of chatter around the potential banning of TikTok in the US… Again this will have a huge impact on marketing!
3. The power of Creator Paid Ads - best practice paid social adverts, created by influencers.
Q> What are your top tips for newbies going to Cannes, the Lions, and the LBB Beach for the first time?
Do make a schedule so you get to attend everything you’d like to - but know that your plans might change! You find new events or see old faces, so you need flexibility in your plans.
Q> Do you have any restaurant or bar recommendations in Cannes you’d like to share?
If there is a booking available, La Guérite. It’s a restaurant on Île Sainte-Marguerite, that turns into a party in the afternoon!
Q> What is your favourite non-work activity in Cannes?
Going on morning runs by the water!
Q> Lastly, what is your packing essential for the week at Cannes Lions?
Comfortable shoes! There is a lot of walking involved to get to various locations.
