The most talked about Seminar of the day on social media sites was unsurprisingly Grupo ABC - How advertising can help build a better world, where the speaker was none other than Former US President Bill Clinton.

The seminar took place last night but was still prominent on the Cannes Lions twitter hashtag well into this afternoon.

He called on ad agencies to help inspire social change around the world. Speaking at the seminar the Clinton said, “I urge you to think about both how you can do well and do good and I urge you to think about how you can help build a world of shared prosperity and share responsibilities.”

Also unveiled today at the Unilever - Crafting Brands for Life: how Unilever is reinventing marketing seminar was the new ‘Waterworks’ app created by Unilever with Facebook and PSI (Popular Services International). The app is the first ever Timeline application for charitable giving and the first to use the new Facebook subscription payment method.

The app connects users to ‘Waterworkers’ in communities who need clean, safe water through a small daily donation users help these waterworkers provide clean water to those in need. The waterworkers also have a phone and will regularly post updates of their progress.
