About the event
Meet the DVJ team at Cannes Insights Lions 2025. Our team will be present both days, ready to connect and share knowledge.

The role of creativity for growth: How leading brands turn creativity into business growth by combining AI with human insight
Together with the University of Groningen, DVJ Insights analysed 8,500+ ads and surveyed over 10,000 marketers to uncover a striking trend: creative uniqueness has steadily declined, even though creativity remains a key driver of brand growth.
During the session, we will show how brands can reverse this trend by structurally pre-testing creative ideas and using AI to enhance, rather than replace, human insight. Philips will present its approach to combining deep human understanding with AI-driven cognitive demand analysis to continuously improve campaign breakthrough and effectiveness.
Date: 16 June 2025
Time: 11:00 - 11:30 AM
Place: Main Gala Room, Majestic hotel, Cannes
