"textContent": "Recorded at Cannes Lions 2026, We.Communications Asia-Pacific president Nitin Mantri discusses how brands such as Adidas and ITC have built genuine community participation rather than advertising-driven attention, and why measuring community value means tracking behaviour change and outcomes rather than campaign activity.\n\nHe also addresses why startups in India are especially crisis-prone, the uneven influence of the CCO role relative to other markets, and the pressure on comms fees despite rising demand for senior counsel. The conversation closes with a regional view across India, China, Singapore, Australia and Malaysia, and the geopolitical headwinds facing Brand India.\n\n<a href=\"https://rss.com/podcasts/earned-first/2953706/\">Cannes: WE's Nitin Mantri on community, crisis and | RSS.com</a>\n\nThe Earned First Cannes podcast is produced by Reel Films.\n\nSubscribe here: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | More",
