Fearless Pursuit of the Unexpected

It’s a mantra we’ve all embraced at one time or another - keep calm and ask the intern. 

At Zeno, interns play a pivotal role on all teams across the globe, embarking upon transformative journeys that help them gain invaluable networking opportunities, job skills, and industry experiences. As the marketing intern, I have witnessed firsthand the personal and professional growth that unfolds within the walls of this dynamic agency, having the opportunity to write this blog post, network with inspiring colleagues, and lead projects early in my career.  

As the dust settles on Cannes Lions conversations, I can’t help but feel how emotionally heavy a lot of the work was this year. Only one in 10 of Gold and Grand Prix winners in 2022 used humour in their work and even fewer used it this year. And the well-documented global rise in unhappiness (negative emotions such as stress, sadness, anger and worry) remains unchanged from last year, according to Gallup’s Negative Experience Index.
