Mumbrellacast: Aussies win big at Cannes, the trouble at Clems, and are women avoiding news?

Join Hal Crawford, Tim Burrowes, Lauren McNamara and Abe Udy for a look at everything under Australia’s media and marketing umbrella.

Telstra and creative agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire won the Film Craft Grand Prix at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. It’s one of the most prestigious awards in adland — Lauren breaks down the win and shares an update on other awards the Australian industry has secured.

Clemenger Group’s changing of the guard continues with the announcement that its CEO Les Timar handed in his resignation after spending more than two decades with the business.

Jonathan Hunt, head of content at HubSpot, had a chat with Hal about what platforms are working for content marketing. Where do you go if you need to find an audience now?

Finally, the University of Canberra’s Digital News Report 2025 found that women are far more likely to avoid the news than men. Is that really the case or is there more than meets the eye?

Get the latest episode every Wednesday.
