Diagnostic and strategy with Cannes Lions

The world’s largest gathering of creatives marketers, Cannes Lions, asked us how we could help them better understand what’s holding them back from being a leading force and voice in the industry for equity, diversity & inclusion. Through our diagnostic, we worked closely across the entire organisation to better understand the state of play and ambition for the future during a time of uncertainty. 

Using a mixture of interviews, listening sessions, surveys and observations, we presented an insight-led analysis of the internal and external barriers and enablers for ED&I. Combined with our built-in coaching ethos, we helped to increase understanding and confidence of ED&I across the organisation, and embedded learning through a mixture of toolkits, learning sessions, ad-hoc advisory and communications counsel.

The increased understanding and confidence across the organisation has resulted in new industry-leading initiatives. As a strategic ED&I partner, we continue to guide Cannes Lions through a roadmap for innovation and advancement through inclusion.

“There are a lot of cookie cutter solutions out there. I've been pitched many! With The Unmistakables, I have never felt like a cookie cutter solution has been put in front of me. It always feels Lions first, personalised and relevant. Their attention to detail, the experience design, and facilitation is top-notch.” – Simon Cook, CEO, Cannes Lions
