A year on since the launch of our Ritualized research in partnership with WARC, we have created a short documentary that dives deeper into the profound influence of rituals on human behaviour and their growing importance in modern marketing. Through expert insights, real-world case studies, and thought-provoking visuals, it uncovers how rituals shape identities, drive emotional engagement, and create lasting brand connections which transform customers into advocates.
Take a break from the hustle & bustle of Cannes and join us for this special film premiere and thoughtful discussion over lunch, in partnership with The Marketing Society.

Ahead of the Curve: New Agency Models Making Waves
MSQ x LBB Online
Wednesday 18th, 16.00 – 16.30
LBB & Friends Beach
The industry is undergoing a seismic shift. After decades of dominance by big holding companies, the landscape is changing fast. Indie networks and their agencies are rising to the top, standing out with their ability to move quickly and deliver bold, effective work. Meanwhile, holding companies continue to absorb and dilute smaller shops, and clients are left piecing together fragmented solutions.
But a new model is already proving its worth – one that brings agility, independence, and impact. Meet the leaders of this movement: the independent agency groups reshaping the industry by cutting through the chaos and delivering simplicity that drives results.
A pre-Happy Hour panel featuring Aaron Lang, President, MSQ North America, and Mona Munayyer Gonzalez, CGO at Pereira O'Dell and Serviceplan Americas.

RITUALIZED
Did you know that 70% of consumers are open to adopting new rituals? And 39% feel more positively towards brands that become part of their rituals?
Whereas traditional marketing approaches consumer behaviour from the standpoint of the brand, rituals flip this script on its head. The consumer is in charge of creating their own personal rituals and deciding whether and how to incorporate brands – not the other way around.
Our white paper serves as a guide for brands looking to tap into the power of rituals. It offers insights, strategies, and practical examples to help brands authentically engage with their consumers in ways that matter.
