At IPG’s eighth annual breakfast at Cannes, we celebrate sheroes who have changed the world through their excellence, perseverance and passion. They are women who have broken through barriers of cultural, racial and gender bias. They are sheroes who have launched new technologies, advanced journalistic excellence, prevailed in athletic competition and led activism that has moved the world. They exemplify the impact of women everywhere and inspire advertisers, marketers and media to rethink common monolithic portrayals of women, embrace the value of their diversity, recognize the power of imagery and celebrate what is possible by encouraging all women to be sheroes.
