Kate Stanners Talks Diversity Ahead of NDS

Depending on what you've got going on today, we'd really recommend you head down to Saatchi & Saatchi's New Director's Showcase this morning to celebrate their 27th year at Cannes.

This time, the event is focussing on gender diversity in advertising with its Open Your Eyes theme.

Held in partnership with MPC, it's taking place at the Grand Theatre Lumiére in the Palais des Festivals.

We caught up with Saatchi & Saatchi's global CCO Kate Stanners to find out what she thinks of this year's topic and why now's a good time to confront gender inequality and pave the way for more female directors in advertising.
