Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity! Where do I begin? Thank you for welcoming me with open arms.

What an amazing show of community and collaboration! It was so needed to connect and reconnect with folks IRL!

Advertising as we know it is certainly going through a much-needed metamorphosis. is unfortunately now a “dirty” acronym, but the act of it seems to be embraced by many. Marc S. Pritchard shared his wake-up call to the industry urging marketers to “reset” the creative bar across insight, inclusion and impact to drive market growth for their brands, so this movement is happening with or without the non-believers.

Having the pleasure and honor of speaking at the Palais was certainly a memorable experience, and being able to do so with three other talented agency founders, who happen to be Black, certainly was not lost on me. It was all made possible by the incomparable Tara J. Agen and our phenomenal client HP, who are leading the charge on right now in my opinion… THANK YOU!

Brand Advance Group, a great organization that is certainly doing the work, was kind enough to host a second panel discussion on the same topic, so a big shout-out to them.

Finally, LE BOOK didn’t shy away from the talk, and we were able to have some fun while discussing a very serious topic, so I’m thankful for that third panel that featured some very talented creatives as well.

It was a whirlwind, but it was so well worth it! Feeling extra motivated and energized for this new year! Super thankful for all of those I crossed paths with and those that I didn’t get to see as well. Looking forward to continuing the collaborative energy, just holla. Till next year… Onward advertising community!

Cheers!

There was a time when African American Advertising Executives were an overlooked demographic in the industry, there are now inspiring stories of excellence and empowerment that showcase their importance and talent ✨

We’re so proud to celebrate the positive advancements made by some of the pioneers in this industry, that led to trailblazing campaigns and lasting leadership, such as our latest spotlight on Sheldon J. Levy.

In 1978, Sheldon was hired by his mentor, and later dear friend, Jimmy deBarros at Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB). As a producer at DDB, he worked on marquee brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, OM Scott, Publisher’s Clearing House and Atari.

After having children and starting his own venture Campanella Levy Films, Sheldon later returned to Saatchi & Saatchi ( ) in 1996. He produced work for premier brands such as Novartis, I Love NY, JC Penney, and many more. During his career he had the opportunity to travel the world, often bringing his family along for the ride. He also mentored countless young men and women. Sheldon received numerous awards and honors throughout his illustrious career, and has been honored by his alma mater, with the Sheldon J. Levy Legacy Award. Regardless of his title, Levy was always known for his thought leadership, his mentorship, and his impact on the advancement of people of color in the industry.

Before you begin, consider the main message you want to send and make sure to develop a clear narrative to get your point across.

Additionally, keep in mind the visual appeal of your ad—adding the right music and graphics can make a world of difference. When possible, stick to shorter ads as shorter content has been proven to hold viewer’s attention 👀

Ultimately filmmaking should be an enjoyable experience!
