Bill Clinton urges ad industry to address social issues

President Bill Clinton challenged an audience filled with advertising, marketing and media industry employees to use their professional skills to address social, economic and climate problems from around the globe.

"The communicators will have a profound influence on how the next 20 or 30 years will turn out," he said. Speaking at a seminar in Cannes sponsored by Latin American ad agency Grupo ABC, Clinton urged those in the audience to collaborate and brainstorm with each other to solve issues such as global warming and the vast economic disparities among various populations.
