American Marconi Wireless News - Dolphin Subsidiaries and Clients Have Successful Showing at Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity 2025

Always Alpha, Dolphin's talent management firm focused entirely on women's sports and athletes, had a large presence at this year's Cannes Lions. Co-founders Cosette Chaput, Allyson Felix and Wes Felix hosted an exclusive lunch in partnership with Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment on Tuesday at the Women's Sports Yacht Club, bringing together senior executives, athletes, and industry leaders shaping the industry. The trio were also featured panelists at the ADWEEK House for a conversation on what it really takes to move the needle in women's sports, from ownership to long-term investment, and how brands need to rethink the playbook. The message was clear: female athletes aren't just potential partners, they're strategic assets.

Later in the week, Always Alpha client and two-time Olympic gold medalist Kristen Faulkner joined an impressive group of legends at the Women's Sports Yacht Club for a discussion covering the total athlete journey, from preparation and resilience to mental health and wellness to building brands and entrepreneurial endeavors. At the same time, Allyson Felix hosted a fireside chat with basketball legend Candace Parker discussing careers highs, lows and lessons while navigating motherhood.

In a headline event examining the future of creative collaboration, Gabrielle Shirdan, Cannes juror and founder of Kitchen Table, joined forces with actress and singer Issa Rae. Together, they tackled critical topics-from building consumer trust in the age of AI to sustaining purpose-led partnerships in an increasingly automated world. Shirdan is one of several visionary clients represented by The Door's DISRPT division, which amplifies culture-shifting brands and leaders with bold, mission-driven strategies.
