Voices from Cannes: Innovation in a World of Flux with Sanofi, PMI & Marketing Week
07/05/23 • 23 min
Today on our show, we’re launching a special summer mini-series recorded live from the Cannes Lions 2023 International Festival of Creativity. frog was an official partner of the event, where we hosted a cabana along the famed croisette. What ensued was four days of programming that included on-stage panels from our sunny beachside terrace and interviews with expert guests from leading brands in our on-site recording studio.
Day One in the frog Cabana, we focused on the theme ‘Innovation in a World of Flux" and discussed everything from avoiding the pitfalls of so-called ‘innovation theater’ to real company journeys driving transformation and whether brands can ever truly be authentic or are more often guilty of smoke-and-mirror tactics.

Studio Sessions: The Future of Banking
Today on our show, we’re talking about the future of banking. Or, more specifically, how the true next wave of financial services experiences are becoming so embedded into our everyday lives, such a part of everything we do, that banking may become invisible altogether. You’re going to hear a conversation between three leading voices in this space. Stephen Dury, Vice President of Financial Services for frog’s parent company Capgemini Invent, who hosts a discussion with Janine Hurt, Chief Executive Officer for Innovate Finance, and Michael Harte, Partner at United Ventures and Industry Research Fellow at MIT. The conversation spans everything from regulation in the age of fintech, to what it takes to stand out in an invisible banking landscape, to financial literacy for children.
