coco con: media

Coco & Cowe presents Coco Con: Media, the second event of the Coco Con series. Catriona Smart and Halla Rafati will be joined by Vanessa Craft, Editor-In-Chief, Elle Canada

In this edition of Coco Con, we will focus on this ever-changing world and the current landscape as it relates to the digital age. With the advent of social platforms, the digitizing of traditional media, true power of advertising and the rise of influencer marketing, we will explore how those intersections affect us all and what we can expect in the future.

Vanessa has impacted the editorial industry by offering a diverse perspective. Plus consistently pushing boundaries and opening our minds to new discoveries. With over 18 years experience, she is the first Beauty Editor ever to receive the P&G Beauty Awards’ Best Beauty Editor honour two years in a row. She is also the first black chief editor in the Elle franchise.
