Meet The LBB Team Members Heading Down to Cannes Lions

Cannes is nigh. Sandy beaches, provençal rosé and award-winning creativity beckons the global creative industries to Cannes after a two-year hiatus.

Face-to-face networking has returned with a bang but slowly re-emerging into the real world after 24 months of video calls (in which there is a name printed under everyone’s face), it's not necessarily going to be easy to pick out people in the crowd - especially when shrouded in hats and sunglasses.

So, we thought it might be nice to show you who to look out for on the beach this year from LBB:

Matt Cooper - Founder & CEO 

Founder & CEO of LBB Matt Cooper can be found at our beach Tuesday - Friday where he will be hosting meetings, sponsors and introducing the talks, panels and events. You can catch him for a drink and hello in between meetings or at Happy Hour.
