TMM IRL: Creativity that cuts through – what Cannes Lions 2025 taught us about marketing that really makes a difference

Mette Davis, Course Leader for the Cannes Lions Creative MBA

Tuesday 9 Sep 2025, 18:00 - 20:00 BST
Paddy & Scott's
Ambition House, Neptune Quay
Ipswich

The Ipswich Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Ipswich to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂

We'll be meeting back at the lovely Paddy & Scott's for this one. We just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.

Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.

Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Topic: Creativity that cuts through: what Cannes Lions 2025 taught us about marketing that really makes a difference

At this year’s Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, big brands, brave agencies, and breakthrough ideas took centre stage — but what does it all actually mean for you?

In this fast-paced and informal session, Mette Davis (Course Leader for the LIONS Creative MBA and Coach for Spark.AI) brings you a curated round-up of trends and provocations from the world’s biggest creative stage — plus a peek behind the scenes of the festival experience.

Expect practical takeaways, a few surprising truths, and the chance to reflect with your peers on what great creativity looks like right now — whether you’re in-house, agency-side, or flying solo.

--------------------

The format of the night:

6:00 pm - doors open - drinks, networking, and smiles
6:30 pm - introduction and talks begin
7:00 pm - talks finish, networking, listening, saying hello, and positively lovely people
7:45 pm - end of the night - you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas
