Jenny Tsai Advocates for Inclusive Investment on International Women’s Day 2024
WeArisma’s CEO Jenny Tsai, has been featured in TechRound, celebrating International Women’s Day 2024, a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women globally and a chance to advocate for inclusivity and equality in the tech world and everywhere else.
Jenny Tsai tells TechRound “Only 3% of capital investment raised in 2023 was by all-female founder teams according to the latest State of European Tech Report. This is an increase of just 1% since 2019, showing that although there is some improvement, the industry still has a long way to go.”
“Inspire Inclusion is therefore a pertinent International Women’s Day theme for 2024, and inclusive investment must be included in this – not just for women in tech but across all industries. If more capital was directed to female entrepreneurs, we may have a very different landscape in terms of IPOs and unicorns.”

Access timely cultural trends, strategic creator guidance, and industry best practices.
Cannes Lions has always been where the industry takes stock, not just of the work, but of where the money is going and why. This year, creator marketing will be front and centre. Not because it’s new, but because the ground underneath it is shifting in ways that are forcing brands to fundamentally rethink how they plan, measure and value creator partnerships.
Here are the three topics we expect to define the week.
The top 100 media and entertainment brands across video streaming, audio streaming, and content creation generated $63.4B in total Earned Media Value in 2025, up +7.0% YoY. Growth is uneven across sub-sectors, video streaming surged while audio streaming declined sharply, platform dynamics are shifting fast, and a handful of breakout brands are rewriting what influence looks like in entertainment.
TikTok grew +70.2% YoY and is rapidly closing the gap on YouTube as the dominant entertainment influence platform. YouTube remains #1 at $32.6B but declined -11.3%, while Instagram grew +4.4% to $13.3B. Facebook nearly doubled to $7.3B (+98.9%), making media and entertainment one of the few categories where four platforms are genuinely competing for share.
