Cannes insights: What a two-time major champion knows about marketing that CMOs don’t

At Cannes Lions 2025, golfer Bryson DeChambeau shared how he built a 2.6 million subscriber YouTube channel by taking control of his own narrative. His approach involved listening to audience feedback, reformatting slow golf content into tight episodic series like Break 50, and prioritizing consistency over virality. The session, moderated by YouTube's Chief Business Officer, positioned athletes as independent media brands and argued that creator content accrues long-term value unlike traditional ad campaigns. DeChambeau's key advice to marketers: brand partnerships only work when values genuinely align, and audiences immediately detect inauthenticity.

De Crescenzo’s choice

A reflective essay comparing Luciano De Crescenzo's 1978 decision to leave IBM for writing with the realities facing developers today. The piece contrasts the economic safety nets of the 1970s (job security, affordable housing, a thriving publishing market) with today's precarious tech landscape (mass layoffs, AI displacement, unaffordable housing, a collapsed publishing industry). It argues that the romantic single leap is no longer viable, but indie hacking — building micro-SaaS products and independent income streams while employed — is the modern equivalent of De Crescenzo's courage. A practical checklist is offered: validate with real paying customers, keep infrastructure costs near zero, maintain a financial runway of at least a year, and test discipline while time is still scarce.
