Embrace the energy...it's a " 🌴 πŸ₯« Cannes Opener πŸ₯« 🌴 " on Stagwell's SPORT BEACH with the always awesome, one-and-only Ryan Linder....Global CMO & EVP Stagwell

πŸ“½οΈ So...here is a 5min roller-coaster "One-Shot" to understand why all those people line up in the baking sun to get into SPORT BEACH.

🌴 Finished off with feet on the sand...and almost a dip.

πŸ† Beth Lester Sidhu summed it up: "SPORT BEACH is a global platform connecting athletes, brands and marketers"...and it is something to behold.

What has blown me away about Sport Beach in the three years I have been invited, is the calibre of marketers, CEOs, sports personalities, directors, commentators and creators that are on stage.

πŸ”₯ This year, just to name a few of the well know sport stars: Shaquille O'Neal, Megan Rapinoe, Lindsey Vonn, Noah Lyles, Kevin Durant, Maria Sharipova, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz Jr. and many more.

You brought the energy Mr Ryan Linder.
