goop Does Cannes

There’s nothing like gorgeous surroundings to get the creative juices flowing, so it should come as no surprise that the world’s biggest advertising festival takes place in Cannes, smack in the middle of June when the weather is about as perfect as it gets. Team goop was more than a little excited to participate in this year’s festivities, attending programming and brand events, and spreading the word about all things goop. Other highlights: an Airbnb with a sick backyard, amazing French food, and an iHeart radio concert where Will Smith freestyled a pretty unforgettable version of “Men in Black” with Chris Martin.
