Colombia to Compete at Cannes Lions 2025 with Two Campaigns Led by ProColombia
BOGOTÁ, Colombia, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Colombia will make its official debut in the competition at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place from 16 to 20 June in France. With the support of ProColombia, the country will participate with two campaigns developed under its nation brand narrative: "Colombia, the country of beauty."
"For the first time, ProColombia is taking part in this event with two campaigns across multiple categories in pursuit of a Cannes Lion. We want the world to recognise Colombia as not only a beautiful country, but one that transforms its natural, cultural and human wealth into creative ideas that connect globally. Being at Cannes Lions with these campaigns is an opportunity to showcase the best of who we are – with innovation and authenticity," said Carmen Caballero, President of ProColombia.
In this edition of the festival, which gathers the most influential brands and creatives each year with over 30,000 entries, Colombia will compete with two campaigns created in alignment with its nation brand story: "Clues of Hidden Beauty" and "Humanimal Migration." Both campaigns are entered in over 47 categories, including Outdoor, Media, Brand Experience, Creative Strategy, and Creative Commerce, among others.
The first campaign, "Clues of Hidden Beauty," highlights the opening and expansion of air routes that have improved access to unique tourist destinations across the country. Thanks to this enhanced connectivity, places such as Tolú on Colombia's Caribbean coast and Bahía Solano in the Pacific region of Chocó have gained recognition as tourism gems offering authentic experiences, lush natural settings, and local communities that promote more responsible travel. The campaign has gained visibility in key markets such as the United States, France, Germany, Argentina and the United Kingdom, attracting travellers with an interest in sustainability and authenticity.
The second campaign, "Humanimal Migration," was launched in late 2024 at The Sphere in Las Vegas and is inspired by an extraordinary fact: Colombia hosts over 1,200 migratory species each year, including birds, whales and turtles. Using real-time data and tracking technologies, the campaign turned these species into ambassadors of the country's beauty, sending over 600 personalised messages in five languages to potential travellers in more than 20 countries – all delivered in the "voices" of the animals themselves. The response was striking: 66,175 new international visitors, a 64% increase compared to the previous year, with an estimated economic impact of $89.6 million.
Both campaigns have achieved significant international reach, with over 380 million media impressions and an estimated earned media value of $42 million. They have contributed to positioning Colombia as an innovative, sustainable, and inspiring destination.

Wei Zhou Named Among Caijing Magazine's Top 50 Global Chinese Venture Capitalists
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the prestigious media platform Caijing Magazine officially unveiled its 'Top 50 Global Chinese Venture Capitalists' list. Wei Zhou, Founding Managing Partner of Cyber Creation Ventures (CCV), earned a coveted spot on the list thanks to his exceptional investment achievements, global vision, and profound influence in the global venture capital ecosystem. This recognition further cements Wei's status as a leading figure not only in the venture capital industry but also within the global Chinese business community. Last year, he was named among Forbes' 'Top 100 Most Influential Global Chinese,' a testament to his far-reaching contributions and leadership in shaping the future of innovation and entrepreneurship. His inclusion in Caijing Magazine's prestigious list this year once again underscores his vital role in driving global technological transformation and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. In its announcement, Caijing Magazine remarked: 'Within the global venture capital landscape, Chinese venture capitalists are redefining the flow of capital with their unique cross-cultural advantages and keen sense of innovation. Over the past three decades, these investors have skillfully navigated the complex waves of global capital, identifying critical signals of technological transformation. The groundbreaking applications and companies they have nurtured represent not only substantial returns but also a powerful value proposition from the global Chinese venture capital community to the world. From Silicon Valley to China, and from China to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and back to Silicon Valley, they have both shaped and exported the 'China model,' playing a pivotal role in global technological and business revolutions. The influence of Chinese venture capitalists on the global stage is undeniable.' Wei has long been a champion of globalization in the investment community. Against the backdrop of de-globalization, he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of companies maintaining a global strategy to avoid the pitfalls of insular competition. He has proposed a new model of 'Distributed Globalization 2.0,' encouraging entrepreneurs to leverage the advantages accumulated over the past 40 years and, with the ingenuity and adaptability of the Chinese people, write a new chapter in globalization. Wei believes that 'Distributed Globalization 2.0' is the optimal strategy for navigating today's evolving environment. This model harnesses China's strengths in resources, talent, supply chains, and technology while integrating with local markets, cultures, and regulations to create a distributed system of collaboration that benefits from the comprehensive advantages of a shared platform. He identifies two key breakthrough directions for this model: intelligence and sustainability. He stated: 'Today may mark the beginning of a new era. At this critical juncture, both Chinese companies and individuals must break out of the confines of intense domestic competition and embrace the era of Globalization 2.0. By stepping out into the world and adopting new entrepreneurial models that emphasize distribution and localization, we can create new value. In this age of de-globalization, leveraging the many advantages China has built over the past four decades, and with the intelligence and flexibility of the Chinese people, we can achieve a 2.0 version of globalization. I believe this represents a massive opportunity for the next generation of Chinese entrepreneurs and young people.' Looking ahead, CCV will continue to partner with outstanding entrepreneurs worldwide to ignite the sparks of technological and industrial innovation, reshaping the global business landscape. The CCV team will also capitalize on the global resources accumulated from managing top-tier international venture capital funds and its current global footprint to provide robust support for Chinese teams entering the era of Global Entrepreneurship 2.0. Together, they aim to create transformative companies and applications that improve lives and redefine industries on a global scale. Wei's repeated recognition by global platforms such as Forbes and Caijing Magazine highlights not only his influence in the venture capital world but also his unique role in bridging cultures, fostering innovation, and driving the global success of the Chinese entrepreneurial community. His leadership exemplifies the growing impact of global Chinese leaders in shaping the future of technology, business, and society.
