Japan rules Asia at Cannes Cyber Lions with 19 shortlisted entries out of Asia’s total of 20

Campaign Brief Asia is not telling you anything new here, but when it comes to Cyber no country in Asia can touch Japan. The results of this year’s Cyber Lions judging in Cannes confirm this.

Japan as a country accumulated 19 Cyber shortlists. The only other country to register a shortlist was China with one.

What’s even more impressive is that nine Japanese companies shared the 19 shortlists, with Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, Projector Tokyo and IMG SRC Tokyo getting 3 shortlists each.
