Campaign Middle East hosts its first-ever Cannes MENA Mixer
This June, Campaign Middle East, in partnership with The Vantage and Hearst Global Solutions, hosted the first-ever Campaign Cannes MENA Mixer at the 72nd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
The event hosted more than 50 top-level brand and agency marketers, along with influential personnel from the region's media and advertising industries.
The event was inspired by growing participation from MENA industry players at the Festival, and offered an exclusive space for the region's industry to meet casually to catch up, celebrate and connect.
'The MENA region's involvement and participation at Cannes has grown year after year, and it was only appropriate that there was an opportunity for the jurors, clients, agencies and partners to all convene together at the advertising world's flagship week,' said Manoj Khimji, Managing Director, The Vantage, who was a title sponsor of the event.
