Connect your brand with Culture-led Creators in Cannes 2026
Create Connect will be bringing a cohort of culture-led, influential UK creators to Cannes 2026. Our lineup is built for impact, ranging from AI innovators and entrepreneurs to cultural commentators, storytellers, and B2B creators. We aren’t just bringing "influencers" we’re bringing the people shaping the conversations that their audiences want to hear about. Our mission is to give talented creators who have influential cultural voices a seat at the table to learn, connect, and grow. As an official Cannes Lions ERA partner, we’re looking for brands and agencies that want to do more than just "show up." We want to work with partners who have a genuine desire to connect with communities they’ve historically struggled to reach or build trust with.
