What Would You Do in the CMO's Seat?

Claritas has had a busy stretch of conferences this year, and every so often we come across a conversation good enough that we'd rather hand you the tape than try to recreate it in studio. This time it's from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where Claritas sponsored and took part in a panel that was easily one of the highlights of our year on the road. Zoom CMO Kim Storin brought real growth challenges to the table. Our panel of expert leaders responded in real time, sharing insights, sparking ideas, and co-creating solutions that drive measurable impact. No slides. No scripts. Just collaborative problem-solving in action. Featuring perspectives from The Weather Company , Databricks , Claritas , Oxford , Acast , and Basis .
