I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected to serve on the Shortlisting Jury for the PR Lions at the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. In a time where the definition of impact is constantly evolving, I am looking forward to reviewing the world’s most provocative and effective work that sets the global benchmark for creative excellence. Having spent many years at the intersection of reputation, media, and brand strategy, I know that the most powerful stories are those that bridge culture and commerce. Honored to join an incredible room of thinkers and strategists in the PR category: ANDRES ORTIZ RENNEBERG, Björn Mellstrand, Chad Song, Deirdre Murphy, Eleanor Sullivan , Felipe Braz Costa, Keri-Ann Stanton, Khaled El Seginy, Louisa Hager, Marc Antoine Koréki, Max Burt, Nozipho Tshabalala, Peter de Albuquerque, Shelley Sorensen, Silvia Lenberger, Sonia Huria, and Vladimír Bystrov. Thanks to Peter Ukhurebor and the team at Black At for the incredible work they do in ensuring diverse, world-class voices are brought to the global table. Representation isn't just about being seen; it's about being heard where decisions are made. Cannes, always a delight to see you! 🇫🇷 #CannesLions #PRLions #PublicRelations GLG Communications, PRCA Africa, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, International Communications Consultancy Organisation, Nigerian Women in PR, Life Coaches Association of Nigeria (LCAN)
