NCM to Launch the US Lions Community at Cannes

Following two years of investment and redesign of the US Young Lions program, NCM will be formally launching the US Lions Community at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this June. With the vision to bring together, inspire and educate young creatives and established industry leaders alike, the US Young Lions program now includes a Mentorship Program with webinar content from a wide variety of agencies and brands, the TEAM USA Advisors program with one-to-one guidance to support the competition winners, an application process to become a US Young Lions juror, along with a growing number of partnerships, sponsorships and special events. The US Lions Community will offer ongoing value as a vital hub of networking, thought leadership, and career growth opportunities to US brands, agencies, media companies and other organizations within the advertising industry.

“We redesigned the Young Lions competition experience two years ago to raise awareness, drive greater participation, and deepen industry support to help advance and amplify young, diverse talent in advertising. This growing community brings together past and present competitors, jurors, partners and sponsors,” shared Amy Tunick, CMO at NCM. “We are thrilled to see the impact of this effort and the value it brings to the entire US Lions Community, which includes professionals at all phases of their career.”
