Rudolf (Rudi) Schneider is the Head of Ads Europe at Amazon and Marlies Gebetsberger is the SVP Western Europe Personal Care at Philips (recently promoted to SVP and Chief of Staff to CEO). These two repeat guests (appeared on the podcast in 2025 and 2024 respectively) joined Efrain and Daniel live in Cannes.
The conversation covers cultural relevance, interactive media and the importance of meeting audiences within the communities and platforms where they already spend their time. From Philips OneBlade's Fortnite activation to the companies' long-term approach to connected commerce, the panel examines how consumer insight, creative experimentation, data and close collaboration can build brands while also driving measurable business results.
