Media Talk podcast: Cannes Lions special

This week, Media Talk comes from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where some of the biggest names in advertising have gathered to discuss the future of the industry. John Plunkett has taken his sofa down to the south of France and invited many of the delegates to sit and chat about their work, including legendary film-maker Sir Alan Parker and the heads of companies including PHD and Ogilvy Group UK. We discuss the role of brands in creating content – is Dunkin Doughnuts really a media company? – how big data is changing the way adverts are targeted and philosopher and author Nassim Nicholas Taleb persuades John to take more risks in life. Were you at the festival? What were your highlights? Leave your comments below the line. Alan ParkerJohn PlunkettMatt HillPhil MaynardAndy GallagherIrene BaquéNassim Nicholas Taleb
