Young Lions 2025: Swiss creative teams ready for Cannes

Switzerland is once again sending talented young creatives to the Young Lions Competitions as part of the International Festival of Creativity, the Cannes Lions 2025 (June 16 to 20). This is made possible by the partnership with Weischer.Cinema Switzerland. According to Christof Kaufmann, CEO of Weischer.Cinema SwitzerlandIt is a pleasure to be active on behalf of Swiss creatives. Juliane Fankhauser-Merz, Director of Sales at Weischer.Cinema Switzerlandalso underlines the importance of this support.

The trip to Cannes was traditionally preceded by a roundtable event that brought together the winning teams of the ADC Young Creatives Awards 2025. Juliane Fankhauser-Merz described this meeting as a "warm welcome", which served to get to know each other, team building and mutual support. She emphasized the importance of supporting the Young Creatives for Weischer.

The young creatives at the roundtable were motivated and excited about Cannes. Many emphasized the opportunity to learn from international colleagues. The idea of teamwork and the support from Weischer were considered important.

In addition to today's roundtable, a boot camp with the German colleagues is planned. On site in Cannes, Weischer will offer support with questions and organization. Dedicated platforms such as the Swiss Barbecue will enable an exchange with the press and industry players.

Juliane Fankhauser-Merz is delighted about the participation of a film team that was already there last year, which creates a special dynamic. She emphasizes the pleasure of accompanying and supporting these constellations.

The young Swiss creatives are therefore well prepared for the Young Lions Competition in Cannes. Their enthusiasm and the support of Weischer.Cinema Switzerland give hope for a successful participation.
