Summary
Day 4 marks the final chapter of Signal & Noise’s first Cannes Lions together as a team—and what a way to close out an unforgettable week. Across four days at Hearst House, we recorded conversations with some of the brightest minds in advertising, media, identity, AI, cybersecurity, consulting, and marketing transformation. Cannes 2026 felt bigger, busier, and more energized than ever, with AI moving from theory to implementation and nearly every discussion centered on what happens when intelligent systems begin participating directly in media, commerce, and customer experiences. In this Day 4 compilation, Rio Longacre, Brett House, and Krish Raja sit down with an exceptional group of founders, CEOs, technologists, and industry operators to unpack the trends shaping the next decade of marketing. Featured guests include: • Michael Beebe, CEO of Dstillery, joined by David Bell, for a candid discussion on transparency, principal media, agency business models, ad tech taxes, and whether AI will finally expose which vendors are truly creating value. • Guy Tytunovich, Founder & CEO of CHEQ, on fighting ad fraud in an era of AI agents, malicious bots, and non-human traffic—and why marketers may need entirely new approaches to identity and trust online. • Mansoor Basha, CTO of Stagwell Marketing Cloud, on composable marketing systems, data infrastructure, and the evolving role of AI inside enterprise decision-making. • Alina Vandenberghe, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Chili Piper, discussing growth, customer experience, and how AI is reshaping B2B engagement. • Justin Bell, Global CEO of Credera, sharing his perspective on transformation, enterprise AI adoption, and why consulting firms are increasingly helping clients rethink operating models—not just technology stacks.…
