This podcast represents a truly global effort to bring you the latest insights, brightest thinking and emerging trends in communications from the industry trendsetters themselves.  

In this episode: 

• Red Havas Executive Vice President Linda Descano, CFA®, hosts a roundtable of top agency execs who discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic, protests for racial justice and a polarized political environment are transforming consumers’ expectations which has led to the resurgence of the purpose-driven brand. Panelists include James Wright, CEO of Red Havas and global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective; Maria Garrido, senior vice president of brand marketing in the Vivendi Village, and chief insights officer of the Havas Group; and Sarah Knakmuhs, managing director and head of the Washington D.C. office of Abernathy MacGregor.
