Episode Description

Creator marketing stole the show at Cannes Lions—and Tubi’s SVP of B2B Marketing Cynthia Clevenger is here to explain why.

In this special-edition micro-episode from the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, host Will Trowbridge sits down with Cynthia at the Tubi Cabana to unpack the biggest stories, creative risks, and culture-shaping campaigns marketers need to be paying attention to right now.

They cover:

  • Why creator marketing is the number one story coming out of Cannes Lions—and what every marketer needs to understand about creator-brand relationships

  • How creators are giving brands unprecedented speed to market, helping them move quickly, remove red tape, and create content in the moment
