How Mel Robbins Turns Ideas into Movements
Tuesday 23 June, 16:15–16:45
Overview
Speakers
Description:
Mel Robbins has amassed over 40 million followers, and for good reason. The #1 best-selling author, podcasting powerhouse and international sensation has cracked the code on how to build movements that matter, helping people envision a life where they come first. She’s mastered turning simple, everyday moments into powerful ideas – a cat in her lap is a lesson in staying composed; falling asleep in workout clothes becomes a take on motivation – and transforming those insights into content that spreads, sticks and changes behaviour at scale.
Join us for Mel’s Cannes Lions debut as she pulls back the curtain – from turning off-the-cuff social posts into chart-topping podcast episodes and hit books to partnering authentically with brands. From The Mel Robbins Podcast, a Golden Globe “Best Podcast” nominee and the #1 most followed show of 2025 (Apple Podcasts), to her #1 New York Times-bestselling book The Let Them Theory, translated into 40+ languages, learn how Mel uses podcasts, social media, video and more to test ideas, spark cultural moments and build movements that last.
Questions this session will answer:
- How do you turn everyday ideas into content that actually changes behaviour?
- What separates a viral moment from a movement that lasts?
- How do you scale authenticity and get to 40 million followers without losing your voice?
