This week we welcomed clients, partners and friends of Fine to the big screen for an exclusive Cannes Lions debrief, where Mandi Fine shared her reflections and first-hand insights from serving on this year's Pharma Lions Jury.

Drawing on the work, discussions and debates that shaped the festival, Mandi unpacked the ideas redefining creativity today, from brands stepping beyond advertising to solve real-world problems, to campaigns that challenged convention and reshaped how we think about business, healthcare and the societies we live in.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the discussion and continues to believe in the power of creativity to move people, business and the world forward.

Some ideas stay with you long after you've heard them.

In this post, we explore the key ideas from Megan Nethercote's latest article, the genius of the "AND", which reflects on why the organisations that stand the test of time reject "either/or" thinking and embrace paradox instead.

Nine years after becoming the first South African Pharma Lions juror, Mandi returned to LIONS | The Home of Creativity with the same sense of awe, curiosity and passion for the work that can change lives.

Her reflections capture not only the scale and significance of the festival but also the trends shaping the future of healthcare communications, from AI-powered innovation to new ways of building trust and connection with patients. Her experiences are offering us a front-row seat to the ideas shaping our industry.

We are grateful for the insights Mandi will bring back to our team, our clients and the broader communications community.We look forward to sharing some of Mandi’s key reflections from Cannes Lions 2026 in the upcoming days.

The countdown to 2026 has officially begun!!

Last week, our CEO Mandi Fine joined South Africa’s creative community at the South African Creativity Showcase, hosted by the and .co , to celebrate the work representing our country on the global stage. It was exciting to note how competitive South African creativity is.

As our judges prepare to leave for Cannes, we wish our fellow South Africans who have entered the Awards all the best as they showcase our country’s talent.

Too often, brands and creative partners are seen as operating in separate worlds, with different priorities, pressures and definitions of success.

But the most meaningful work happens when both sides come together around a shared vision.

That is why we are happy to share that Mandi Fine and City of Cape Town’s Dr Natacha Berkowitz will serve on the Grand Jury for the Lisbon International Health Awards this year.

The festival’s 2026 theme, “Joining Forces”, celebrates exactly this kind of collaboration, with agency and client leaders judging side by side, creatives evaluating effectiveness and clients evaluating creative excellence.

Fine for Good has worked closely with Dr Berkowitz on the Good For You Healthy Food Guidelines for the City of Cape Town, showing that the best ideas are not built in isolation. They are built together.

The year is flying by, and at Fine we know how important it is to pause and reflect on the work we’ve done in the past quarter. Even though we work as a team, it’s so easy to get lost in the day-to-day, so this was a great opportunity to learn from others’ lessons. We were then inspired by a tour of Victoria Yards - a space of entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.
