LIONS has announced the cohort of the 2025 Jodi Harris Scholarship. In partnership with AB InBev, the Scholarship invites emerging marketing leaders to Cannes Lions for an exclusive programme designed to encourage and inspire the next generation of creative marketing leaders.

The cohort will receive a fully-funded, curated programme that features exclusive sessions with industry experts and the AB InBev executive marketing team, and access to the Festival content and Awards shows.
