The ‘Live’ NDA podcasts

To kick off Maison New Digital Age’s programme of events, NDA Editor Justin Pearse once again sits down with two of the industry’s most influential figures, Sir Martin Sorrell and Terry Kawaja, for live podcast interviews. 

The Sir Martin Sorrell live podcast interview takes place 9.30 – 10.30am on Monday 16 June, discussing the current state of the ad industry and Sir Martin’s biggest hopes, and fears, for the year ahead. Long one of advertising’s most influential figures, Sir Martin will set the scene for the following week in Cannes.

The live podcast interview with Terence ‘Terry’ Kawaja, Founder and CEO of LUMA Partners, takes place 11-12, Monday 16th. Terry will reveal what he believes will be the key adtech trends in 2025/6. Having advised on more than $300 billion worth of deals in our industry, his views are always essential listening.

NDA’s Cannes podcasts will be recorded ‘live’ in front of a select audience. 

Other live podcasts throughout the week at Maison New Digital Age include Brian O’Kelley, the CEO and co-founder of Scope3 and the ‘godfather of adtech’. 

NDA Digital Women 2025

NDA’s Digital Women panel session event takes place at 4pm on Wednesday, featuring Ellie Norman, CMO Formula E, Amy Williams, Founder, Good Loop, and more. Moderated by Ellie Edwards Scott, the panel will be discussing how far we’ve come since Cannes 2024 and debating how the impact of changes in the US is being managed and minimised.

The panel will be followed by networking drinks with our industry’s leading female figures and allies.
