Just thought I'd *drum* up some excitement (see what I did there?)

Dad jokes apart, I'm really looking forward to serve as a juror for #TheDrumAwards for Marketing in APAC later this year.

In Part 3 of my series on #ModernMarketing at #CannesLions, I look at work from Xbox, Orange, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Hornbach and Diageo. And channelled John Oliver in a rant on the state of the industry and Cannes in particular.

And while they don’t yet deliver to Singapore, I loved the idea and the effort they took to find their old customer base. Good social-first modern marketing. #whatisaninsight
