The details of the 2024 Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony have been airtight, so much so that even Arthur Cadre, the lead dancer of the ceremony, doesn’t know what’s going on most of the time. “Even when we’re all practicing, we hear the music through the headphones given to us, so we don’t even know if we’re listening to the same song or sound,” said the French dancer in an interview. Rehearsal sessions have been taking place in a remote and undisclosed location far outside of Paris, where many of the dancers are grouped together to train for more than six hours a day, switching between daytime and nighttime sessions.

Kamala Harris‘ Gen Z-focused marketing strategy is making numbers, according to the latest data analysis from Launchmetrics. Harris started her presidential campaign on July 21, after President Joe Biden announced his decision to step down from the 2024 election race. On the same day, the candidate received an endorsement from singer and current Gen Z sensation Charli XCX, who posted “Kamala IS Brat” on her X (formerly known as Twitter) account. Staying on top of things, the campaign added a new lime green photo in the style of Charli XCX’s “Brat” album cover to its official account on X. In 48 hours, the “Brat” rebrand had earned Harris a total of $15.9 million in media impact value — a proprietary metric developed by Launchmetrics that assigns a true monetary value to marketing strategies across print, online and social media to calculate ROI.
