ADWEEK, Code and Theory, and ElevenLabs Are Bringing You an AI Radio Station at Cannes

When you go to the Cannes Lions, you get blasted—not just with rosé, but with a whole lot of noise. 

ADWEEK is going to try to help you process it in a cool new way.

We’ve partnered with Code and Theory to supply the articles that will power ai.rwaves, an AI-powered radio station broadcasting live coverage of Cannes Lions, from June 21-26.

Built with ElevenLabs and powered by Stagwell’s AI operating system, The Machine, ai.rwaves is an always-on audio stream, sharing the news that’s continuous, curated, and has a sharp point of view—the best of all worlds, really. So you’ll be equipped with everything that’s happening, ready for your next meeting, no matter where along the Croisette it happens.

Every daily programming block will feature ADWEEK’s top breaking stories about the festival. You’ll get the gossip, the what-we’re-hearing, and the Cannes shortlists and winners as they’re announced. 

Segments include:   

THE MORNING READ, which distills the news and social chatter, surfacing what you need to know for the day.

SIGNAL VS. NOISE, which splits the signal from the noise.

BEACH MATH, with the stats, award tallies, and numbers that tell the story.

THE QUOTE THAT JUST LANDED, and what it means for the ad world.

THE C&T READ, Code and Theory’s thought leadership, relating to ADWEEK stories and the sessions around the Croissette. 

THE LAST THING, one weird or sharp or unusual take.

You can listen to ai.rwaves at ai.rwaves.ai and it’ll be available on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
