The IAB and its IAB Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence will chair a first-ever all-day forum devoted to the topic of Creativity in Mobile Advertising during Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

On Tuesday, June 19, IAB President and CEO Randall Rothenberg will lead the day’s series of panels – six sessions in all, including a final roundtable that will spotlight The IAB Creative Showcase: Secrets of the Mobile Superstars. On stage discussion during this session will feature Colleen DeCourcy of Socialistic, Thomas Fellger of Iconmobile, and Per Holmkvist of Mobiento. They will share examples of the best mobile creative, and offer insights on how to take advantage of opportunities in mobile.

“The IAB-led forum at Cannes offers potent insights from some of mobile’s biggest superstars, who will show real-world examples of mobile marketing and advertising innovations,” said Rothenberg. “Mobile is already resetting the boundaries for marketing and advertising, but it’s critical that we not get caught up in technical gobbledygook and focus relentlessly on the one issue that matters most: creating fantastic unique experiences for consumers.”

Rothenberg will serve as the Daily Forum Moderator for each session throughout the forum. The schedule of the day is as follows:

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
