The duo competed against teams from leading companies to win the local title and will represent Sri Lanka in the Young Lions Competition at the 64th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France, going head-to-head with teams from across the globe. “Our experience at Nestlé, not just in marketing but also in innovating and renovating products and catering to evolving consumer needs, is what gave us the edge to win this competition. We are honoured and delighted to represent Sri Lanka in the upcoming Young Lions Competition,” said Nescafé Brand Manager Umeshinie Kurukulasuriya and Nestomalt Assistant Brand Manager Ashani Ratnayake.
