This was super informative about Facebook’s algorithm and what was going on behind the scenes during the pandemic @ #meta Whilst reviews are embargoed until early October I’ll say it was a great insight into the Facebook leak and the case behind’s France’s Haugen’s passionate story exploring hard hitting issues like teen mental health impacts Facebook had. Very gripping and incredible characterisation #thesocialreckoning @paramountuk world premiere. Thanks @concordemedialondon out October 9th ✨

A fantastic few days in Cannes for @cannes_lions.

It was a real pleasure catching up with clients, friends and industry contacts, while also meeting so many new people from across the creative, media and sports industries. There’s no better setting for great conversations than La Croisette in the French sunshine 😎

Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet and catch up - already looking forward to doing it all again next year! 🇫🇷☀️
