BCG is thrilled to join CMOs and other marketing and creative leaders from around the world at the 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which will take place June 17 through 21. As an official partner of Cannes Lions, BCG will be on the ground to lead discussions, collaborate, and share insights as we focus on this year’s festival theme: where creativity drives progress.
At this year’s festival, BCG will be working with marketers to navigate a core paradox underlying everything today: how to build true connections as the line between reality and illusion becomes increasingly blurred. While digital tools such as GenAI have made it easier and easier to reach millions of people with highly targeted messages, true connections have become harder to forge—and even harder to maintain.
At BCG, we help marketers navigate this paradox, crafting genuine connections in an AI-driven world. That’s why our experts will be engaging with industry leaders on the main stage, in our video studio, and in the BCG cabana to showcase powerful and inspiring stories, answer questions, and take a deep dive into the topics that are most relevant to you.
BCG’s partnership with Cannes Lions 2024 focuses on offering our deep functional expertise and technology solutions to the marketing and creative leaders attending the festival. Stay tuned for additional programming at our BCG cabana.

Our work with clients across the spectrum of marketing and sales helps businesses understand what future consumers look like, what drives them, and how to connect to them—staying competitive while winning hearts and minds in a fast-changing, socially conscious world.
We partner with businesses as they enhance their consumer experience through customized generative AI (GenAI) solutions, working with them to understand the role that tech and GenAI can play, develop the right skillsets, and scale their new solutions to maximize impact.
Our consumer products consultants help clients build brands for the long term while driving short-term growth. A key focus is the development of digital capabilities—including advanced data collection and analysis, AI, digital supply chain, and other enhancements—that harness the ingenuity and innovation you’ll need to meet consumers’ changing demands.
We collaborate with technology, media, and telecommunications companies to pioneer new business models, develop pricing and customer-acquisition strategies, leverage AI and advanced analytics, and seize new opportunities—helping them to think boldly, respond quickly, and improve continuously.
To advance their marketing maturity, brands must embed data, conduct full-funnel marketing planning, and deliver technology-enhanced consumer experiences daily.
While generative AI is poised to transform the workplace, we still need human brains for new ideas. BCG CMO Jessica Apotheker offers a pragmatic and hopeful look at the future of business.
Companies are responding to a number of headwinds by transforming their marketing organizations to achieve measurable improvement in performance and efficiency and to ensure future sustainable growth.
