Meet NewtonX at Cannes Lions 2026

Synthetic Personas: What’s Possible When Your Buyer Is Always Available

Tuesday, June 23, 1:25–1:50 p.m. LIONS Insights & Strategy Summit, Le Majestic Hotel

Synthetic research is one of the most consequential shifts in market research. Not all synthetic methods are equal, and using the wrong one for the wrong decision carries real risk.

NewtonX CEO Sascha Eder takes the stage with Jamie Cleghorn, Global Head of Customer Practice at Bain & Company, and Kimberly Storin, CMO at Zoom to explore what synthetic personas make possible: always-on buyer intelligence that fits into real research roadmaps, sharper marketing decisions, and the guardrails required to act with confidence.

Open to Cannes Lions Festival Pass holders.
