The Talent Behind the Room

Brief

For its private evening at Cannes Lions 2026 — a sunset reception aboard Yacht Hana, off the Croisette — OUTFRONT Media needed the one element that separates a memorable night from another party with a playlist: the right artist. Our mandate was talent. Find and deliver a performance equal to the guests OUTFRONT had aboard — C-suite marketers, agency leadership, and media partners — and run it flawlessly on the water.

The performance

Ella performed a full live set — Nord Stage keys, Korg synth, and looper — building an immersive, elevated atmosphere calibrated to the evening rather than dropped on top of it. The result was a room that stayed, and a night that felt authored.

About the artist, Ella Romand

A Brazilian-French artist, producer, and live act with 12+ years performing across the world's more discerning stages — Burning Man, Cova Santa in Ibiza, House of Yes, Resistance Miami, and alongside artists including Bob Moses and Eli & Fur. She was selected to co-produce and perform with the New World Symphony in an 80-musician orchestral-electronic fusion, and brings a luxury sensibility shaped by work with Dior, Ferrari, Aston Martin, F1, and 1 Hotel, where she served as music director. Precisely the register Cannes rewards.
