Few people have done more to prove that business and activism can coexist than @yobencohen.

As co-founder of @BenandJerrys, Cohen helped build a brand that is as well known for its stances on racial justice, climate change, and voting rights as for its ice cream.

Now, decades after selling to @Unilever in 2000 (a decision he opposed at the time), Cohen is fighting to protect the social mission he built from the ground up.

With co-founder Jerry Greenfield, he launched the “Free Ben & Jerry’s” campaign last year, calling on current owner The @MagnumIceCream Company to spin off the brand to investors who would preserve its social mission.

@brittaneykiefer spoke with Cohen about why his mission has resonated with the public, what authentic brand purpose looks like today, and why many founders are chasing the wrong goal.

Following a festival marred by scandals involving AI-manipulated case studies, unverifiable claims, and revoked trophies, @cannes_lionsentrants face a higher bar heading into its 2026 event this June.

To support entrants through the new process, Cannes Lions published a comprehensive Integrity Handbook last November. It also hosted webinars and introduced a dedicated support team.

Many agencies were caught off guard by rigorous verification and disclosure requirements, while others pointed to unclear communication from Cannes Lions and confusion around client sign-off needs.

“This year it was a lot harder, more stressful, and called for a lot more involvement from lots of different people, including clients,” said one U.S. network agency exec.

@omnicom CEO John Wren is raking in the big bucks.

His pay jumped to $69.9M in 2025, a package that is almost double what the other six major ad holdco CEOs made combined and equal to 1,219x the median Omnicom employee’s salary.

Outside of Wren’s spike, CEO pay across the group was mostly steady, even as the industry saw major shakeups like Omnicom’s $13.5B IPG deal, @wpp’s CEO transition to Cindy Rose, and @dentsu’s leadership reshuffle.

On Wednesday, @VoxMedia announced that James Murdoch’s media and technology holding company, Lupa Systems, has agreed to acquire three of its divisions—@NYMag, the Vox Media Podcast Network, and @voxdotcom—and is folding them into a new, independent company that will carry the Vox Media name.

Chief executive Jim Bankoff will lead that business once the transaction closes, which the company expects to happen within four to six weeks.

But what happens to the remaining brands that were not sold to Murdoch? Officially, @Eater, @Popsugar, @SBNation, @TheDodo, and @Verge will be spun into a second independent company under a still-to-be-determined name.

However, @MarkStenberg3 thinks those remaining brands will face a different fate.
