Disruption®, Served Ice Cold: TBWA Debuts its Very Own Ice Cream at Cannes Lions
CANNES, France, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This year at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, TBWA — the Disruption Company® — is bringing its ethos to life in the form of boldly flavored treats to beat the heat in A Taste of Disruption.
Created by two of TBWA's best in class design and experiential agencies — Design by Disruption® (DxD) and Auditoire — the Riviera-inspired ice cream truck activation is open daily from Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to all pass holders.
Providing a space for disruptive flavors, festival attendees are invited to take a break from the pace and chaos of La Croisette and enjoy combinations such as sweet and surprising honey and thyme, refreshingly spicy melon and wasabi, earthly matcha and ginger and tangy berry and timut pepper.
'For us Disruption is so much more than a methodology — it is a mindset, a spirit, a feeling.' said Erin Riley, Global CEO of TBWAWorldwide, who personally served guests to kick off the festivities.
'We wanted to bring that to Cannes in a lighthearted, but totally relevant way. We are quite literally giving the festival a taste of Disruption,' continued Riley.
The truck's exterior is wrapped in a summery take on TBWA's signature yellow, with diagonal stripes inspired by the brand's Backslash and the beachfront vibe of the Côte d'Azur. Positioned directly across from the Palais' iconic red carpet, the activation will be one of the week's most savored moments.

iQIYI's Summer Success: Coroner's Diary，"How Dare You!?" and "Rose Finch" Hits Strengthen Winning Content Strategy
BEIJING, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 25, iQIYI, China's leading online entertainment platform, announced the impressive success of its summer content lineup, led by standout titles – the long-form drama 'Coroner's Diary', the micro drama[1] 'How Dare You!?' and the short drama[2] 'Rose Finch'. These hits underscore iQIYI's commitment to high-quality, engaging storytelling that enhances its integrated 'long + short' strategy. By delivering a diverse mix of formats, iQIYI continues to meet the evolving preferences of today's fast-paced digital audience. 'Long + Short' Form Content Soars: Summer Hits Validates Growth 'Coroner's Diary,' a dual-narrative crime mystery exploring eight interconnected cases, is iQIYI's latest hit long-form drama. Its content popularity index surpassed 10,000—signifying a national hit—and it topped more than 10 third-party charts in viewership or popularity. Moreover, its influence has expanded overseas, ranking first on iQIYI International in 13 markets, including Thailand,Malaysia, and the U.S. 'How Dare You!?' is one of iQIYI's most popular micro dramas, which rapidly exceeded 800 million views and secured a spot on the company's top 10 overseas micro drama charts. It follows an office worker who is transported into a fantasy world through a mysterious book, where she and a fellow modern-day transmigrator—the emperor—embark on a comedic survival adventure. Its bite-sized episodes, gripping plot twists, and innovative storytelling strongly resonated with mobile-first viewers across the globe, while also sparking renewed interest in season one of the original animations. Meanwhile, 'Rose Finch', a short drama that opens with a mysterious case and seamlessly blends folklore legends with scientific investigative elements, became a standout success in China this summer– topping the country's short drama market for six consecutive days with a peak viewership share of 44%, according to Enlightent. The robust performance of these titles clearly demonstrates the increasing appeal and stickiness of short-form content. It is proving effective not only in attracting new viewers but also in sustaining engagements, positioning it as a crucial growth engine alongside iQIYI's established long-form content. The 'Long + Short' Strategy: Delivering Quality Entertainment iQIYI's achievements are rooted in a strategic balance that seamlessly blends the rich narratives of premium long-form content with the dynamic and innovative qualities of short-form content. This dual approach effectively caters to today's diverse viewing habits, all while upholding stringent standards of production and artistic excellence. While long-form content continues to be the company's bedrock, providing immersive stories that cultivate loyal audiences, short and micro dramas have rapidly emerged as a significant growth driver. They particularly resonate with younger, mobile-centric viewers who seek quickly digestible yet compelling storytelling. Central to this strategy is iQIYI's steadfast commitment to quality, ensuring both formats consistently deliver strong artistic merit and technical excellence. This dual focus is bolstered by initiatives like the 'Thousand Mini-Dramas Initiative' and 'Hundred Short-Dramas Initiative', which collectively broadens genre diversity and elevates storytelling across various short-form formats. iQIYI Lite, an app that focuses on free short-form content, has seen micro dramas rank second in daily viewing time and first in unique visitors on the platform, unequivocally demonstrating their strong appeal to mobile audiences. A Robust Slate on the Horizon Building on its well-established market leadership, iQIYI is set to release a dynamic lineup of micro and short dramas through late 2025 and into 2026. As part of a strategic initiative to expand its long- and short-form content offerings, iQIYI unveiled an impressive slate of over 400 new titles across various formats during its World Conference in April. During its inaugural 'Glittering Night' micro drama ceremony in March, the company previewed 47 new productions, including micro dramas such as fantasy and comedy, often infused with youthful, internet culture influences. The short drama lineup also features anticipated sequels to popular series like 'Original Sin' and 'A Ming Dynasty Mystery', highlighting iQIYI's dedication to expanding beloved IPs. By leveraging this extensive catalog alongside advanced data analytics and AI-powered insights, iQIYI continues to deliver original, cinematic-quality storytelling that deftly adapts to evolving audience preferences. This powerful fusion of scale, innovation, and unwavering quality uniquely positions iQIYI to lead the rapidly expanding content market, broadening its influence both within China and across the globe. Contact: iQIYI Press, press@ [1] Micro drama is defined by a vertical video format, with each episode between 1–5 minutes [2] Short drama is defined by a horizontal video format, with each episode between 5–20 minutes

2 New Drops From IWC & HVILINA Serve Pilot Rizz & Astronaut Chic
Everyone has fantasised about flying through the clouds, or rocketing into space – and one way to realise that fantasy is by having one of these watches on your wrist. From encapsulating a legendary fighter pilot school, to putting the solar system in your hand – here are two new timepiece drops that take to you to the skies, space and beyond. IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Miramar The new Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Miramar, which comes in two different editions, adds to IWC's Colours of TOP GUN collection. The unique model, which is only available in 1,000 pieces, has a light blue ceramic case that was created by Pantone® and was influenced by the t-shirts that TOP GUN instructors wore. Zirconium oxide and metallic oxides are mixed in exact ratios during the manufacturing process of the coloured ceramic case, necessitating numerous trials to produce the desired shade and uniformity across the dial and strap. The ceramic case is combined with a rubber strap and dial that are both the same shade, making for a unified and eye-catching design. The IWC 69380 calibre, a high-precision chronograph movement with a column-wheel design and 46 hours of power reserve, powers this edition. It includes a titanium case back engraved with the 'TOP GUN' logo and a soft-iron inner case for magnetic protection. The Maison also introduces a stainless steel edition in addition to the ceramic one, which is the first time a Pantone® colour from the TOP GUN series has been used in a non-ceramic watch. This model comes with a matching rubber strap, a Miramar blue dial, and a 41mm steel case. Legibility is improved by rhodium-plated hands that are filled with Super-LumiNova®, and the in-house 69385 movement is visible through the open caseback. With the help of IWC's EasX-CHANGE® system, users of both models can easily switch up the straps to match their outfit or mood. The ceramic version costs US$13,500 (~RM57,057), while the steel version costs US$7,200 (~RM30,430), both of which can be purchased through IWC. HVILINA's Universum Cosmographia The recently unveiled Universum Cosmographia by HVILINA is a watch that skilfully blends contemporary horology with historical astronomy. With a three-dimensional planetarium and a GMT disc modelled after a celestial chart from the ninth century, the watch draws inspiration from both contemporary planetary science and mediaeval star maps. The project, which was created in partnership with Professor Richard Kerner, a mediaeval cartography specialist and physicist at the Sorbonne, connects traditional cosmological worldviews with contemporary innovation. The watch, which has a 50-meter water resistance and sapphire crystals on both sides, is housed in a stainless steel case with a redesigned bezel and caseback. A finely detailed 3D model of the Solar System, with tiny stylised planets that seem to float in zero gravity, is at its centre. The multi-layered dial is enhanced by guilloché engraving, which gives it depth and a sense of celestial movement. Through a sculpted aperture above the planetary display, a mediaeval star map is revealed by a rotating GMT disc. The zodiac constellations' Latin inscriptions, on the other hand, show the day and night as contrasting halves of light and dark, forming a 24-hour cycle. The timepiece is powered by the Miyota 9075 Premium automatic movement, delivering GMT functionality, a 42-hour power reserve and a daily accuracy of -10/+30 seconds. The movement's rotor is engraved with trans-Neptunian objects. The astronomical theme is furthered by the inclusion of the oval-shaped dwarf planet Haumea. The timepiece, which retails for EU€400 (~RM1,985), can now be pre-ordered through HVILINA's online store. The official release date of the watch is November 2025.
