Yesterday, Jayanta Jenkins, VP/Global Creative at Starbucks, inspired Miami Ad School students in Miami and Atlanta. An alumnus of the school, Jayanta shared his legendary journey from the Martin Agency, TBWA/Chait Day to top roles at Samsung, Twitter, and DISNEY. Known for iconic campaigns like Nike Shox and “The Lebrons,” he co-founded Saturday Morning to address racial inequities in advertising. Jayanta's extensive experience and passion for community and purpose-driven work have shaped a remarkable career. His strong ethos and philosophy, built on resilience and learning from failures, underscore his amazing success and influence in the creative industry.
We celebrated our 1st anniversary in our new mid-town Atlanta location with cake in Atlanta (thank you, Stephanie); and Starbucks coffee and food in Miami (thank you, Jaynee). Jayanta is an alumnus of the school we are proud to say. Students left inspired and excited about future opportunities in advertising and design. THANK YOU, Jayanta!

Serendipity.

In Paris this morning, I bumped into my good friend George Hirthler. Both of us, unknowingly, had traveled from Atlanta to this city, meeting by sheer chance. I’m here visiting Group EDH and our Paris school, then off to Cannes for the Miami Ad School at the Cannes international creative festival.

George is here with a tale about the Olympic Games. Today, Olympic Day, he speaks at the opening of “Genius of Sport,” an exhibit he created for the Pierre Coubertin family. Pierre, founder of the modern Olympics, is George’s hero. George will speak alongside the French Minister of Culture and the IOC President.

The irony of our parallel journeys from Atlanta: two storytellers, cultural messengers, curators of good ethos. Perhaps the serendipity of our paths is a sign of something greater. — Bon voyage

On a sunlit night in Cannes, we sipped rosé on the rooftop, gazing across the blue-green Mediterranean. Rosé, the true drink of Cannes. The air pulsed with the spirit and excitement of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. With Katia Pallu from EDH Schools Paris, we spoke of advertising, design, creativity, and the competitive fire of Miami Ad School students and its distinguishing alumni winning Golden Lions this week. Our guests, Candice Pierson of the Clio Awards, Izabella Harrington, the Clios' Program Director, and Nicole Ingra, Global Strategy Director and Miami Ad School alum, shared in the magic. Conversations flowed, rich with the thrill of collaboration and the allure of the Clio Awards. The night on the longest day brimmed with creativity and inspiration, filled with the kind of excitement only true passion for our creativity and craft can bring. Beyond it all was the understanding of what lies ahead when you truly see–here's to winnings ahead.

A Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Cannes Experience!
The Cannes International Lions Creativity Festival in 2024 was nothing short of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious—a word that perfectly captures the grandeur, greatness, and splendor of this remarkable event. This year's festival was a pursuit of excellence, showcasing the very best in creativity and innovation.
A huge shout-out and a heartfelt thank you to Rhian Smith, one of the nicest, kindest, and most helpful people I've ever met. Rhian, the Business Development Manager for the Cannes International Festival of Creativity and a lead on the Cannes Development Team played an instrumental role in making my first Cannes adventure a resounding success. Titles aside, Rhian is simply a 'Best Human.
Her constant support, readiness to challenge me, and calming presence made navigating the festival a much smoother experience. Cannes is an event that's impossible to fully explain, but Rhian's British heritage lends a perfect word to describe it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It embodies everything grand, great, glorious, splendid, superb, and wonderful about the Cannes International Festival of Creativity.
THANK YOU, Rhian, for your unwavering and constant support and for making Cannes 2024 an unforgettable journey!
