Recorded on the Microsoft Beach in Cannes, this special episode of The Digital Distillery Podcast brings you into the heart of the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity with two of Microsoft’s insightful voices. Host Nadia Koski sits down with Jonathan Stringfield, VP, Global Business Strategy, Analytics & Trust, and Jesus Serrano, Principal Product Manager, to explore how AI is moving beyond optimization and targeting to transform creativity, brand storytelling, and user experience.

This episode captures the energy of Cannes while unpacking some of the most pressing conversations in media and advertising today. Jonathan shares his perspective on how gaming is shaping emotional brand engagement and what the advertising industry can learn from this immersive world. Jesus dives deep into GenAI innovation, revealing how brands and fans are beginning to co-create in real time, and how emerging tools are reshaping the future of audience interaction.
