Why did it make sense for your business to join The Independents group?
The partners across the group had been friends and collaborators for a long time so we knew them very well. Isabelle and Olivier [Chouvet] understood our business intimately and we knew they could help nurture and develop it to another level.
What’s a project you’ve worked on lately that you’re proud of?
The H&M music series that we have been running since September 2024 and, in particular, the micro festival H&M&LA that we did in downtown Los Angeles in April. The festival was attended by 7,000 people and included three stages and performances by Doechii, Jamie xx, Robyn, Pink Pantheress, Jeff Mills, Uncle Waffles, The Blessed Madonna, Floorplan and more.
What are you most excited about looking ahead for your business?
More than ever, we think that brands need to remain connected to the cultural zeitgeist to stay relevant. We expect the investment in experiences to continue growing globally, including in new markets, and Kennedy is very well positioned to help brands and clients achieve that.
