Six Marketing Trends From Cannes That Matter More Than Any AI Headline Right Now

Andrew Miles Davis breaks down six marketing trends identified by an Adweek reporter's conversations at Cannes, offering his own take on each and where AI genuinely fits. He covers the creator economy maturing from audience-building into proper business-building, the ongoing shift from text towards video and audio consumption, why format now matters less than the strength of an underlying idea and personal IP, the tension businesses feel between AI excitement and fear of being left behind, AI agents moving into everyday messaging apps as a new front door for brand interaction, and the rising value of high-quality journalism as AI models exhaust the fresh public data they rely on. Andrew closes with the argument that the real winners will not be the people generating the most AI content, but the people creating ideas AI cannot invent on its own.
