Cannes so Black
…The Culture Book: Episode1
This year, One Block Village and other Black owned media companies including Group Black, Hero Media and Cannes Can: Diversity Collective are bringing something so different, so vibrantto Cannes — something that’s never been done since its inception more than 50 years ago. We’re bringing Black excellence in all it’s glory. From Inkwell Beach to Pinterest Beach at The Carlton, WPP Beach and to the Cannes Marina, these events are being organized by the culture for the culture.
Dubbed “The Culture Book,” an emerging list of Black advertising professionals will hold workshops, networking events and partiesintended to highlight the Black Ad experience, and give like-minded professionals the ability to socialize and connect with each other. Included will be a first-ever Black Yacht Party powered by the Hero Media (Black-owned agency), the Biggest Rave by Group Black, and curated conversations at the famous Inkwell Beach with some of the brightest minds in the business.
One Block Village’s founder, Peter Ukhurebor shares that it’s an historic act of sorts, and will carve out space for Black creators to have a place at Cannes for years to come.
“The Culture Book is a conglomerate of experiences that showcases Black ad creatives in spaces they typically haven’t been a part of,” he shares. “We want to bring the people something that has never been seen before at Cannes.”
On Monday the 20th, Inkwell Beach guests will come together with the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective and have a splendidexperience, then we move to the Cannes Marina where Hero Mediawill be offshore on a yacht celebrating an awesome time. Theseevents are a day after Juneteenth celebration which also reflects the sentiments of Nelson Mandela and the spirit of Ubuntu:
“A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn’t have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects.”
On Tuesday, let’s talk about Hip Hop, the vision and voice of the generation. Later on, let your hair down with Black Creators on the beach and Pinterest. Get a Make over with our Black celebrity stylists while sipping on a Black inspired cocktail as celebrity DJ SD blast some amazing Afro–Samba and Hip Hop music fused with Afro-Beat: But wait the night is not over yet! Group Black has a special surprise cooking later that night.
Wednesday is an assembly of the most respected Black CMOs,CCOs, ECDs and top C-Suite executives with WPP hosting. Then we remember the lockdown days with famous DJ Nice powered by Group Black.
