Cannes Lions is over for another year, having completed a full in-person event for the first time since 2019. But what was the week like for the ad industry’s leaders? We asked four industry stars about their experiences – from a veteran to first-timers, and one person spreading their wings away from the Croisette.
Giles Ivey has been promoted to EMEA CEO (previously UK CEO), Van Sideras has been named EMEA COO (previously UK MD), and Freddie Turner moves to the role of UK MD (previously Strategy Director, UK). These promotions mark the rapid growth of MiQ’s UK business.
Giles joined MiQ almost three years ago having previously been a non-executive board member and then global CRO at Avid Media. Prior to this, he was managing director, UK, at Collective, where he oversaw the acquisition of the company by Time Inc. UK.
Drawing upon his leadership and experience of building MiQ’s UK and global business, Giles is tasked with replicating this across EMEA, continuing to report into Richard Dunmall, President of MiQ, with the support of the new senior executive team.
