Congratulations to all the winners at this year’s Cannes Lions

Monday, June 25, 2012

The annual week of celebrating the best in creativity from around the World has come to a close. This year saw a festival full of stunning work, breath-taking visuals and a spot of celebration (well, when in Cannes…).

With a mighty cheer-roar it's fantastic to be able to congratulate MJZ, USA on receiving the Palme D'Or and Wieden+Kennedy, Portland on winning Advertising Agency of the Year. As well as our long time collaborators, BBH picking up the Creative Effectiveness Lion Grand Prix for Axe/Lynx 'Excite'. A serious achievement!

We were also thrilled to see R/GA New York, USA receiving both the Cyber Lions Grand Prix and Titanium and Integrated Lions Grand Prix for Nike 'Fuelband'.

A good take away from this year's Cannes Lions saw UK ad agencies strike back by picking up some of the biggest prizes at the 2012 festival. It was a really good year overall for UK agencies, with a number scooping Gold, Silver and Bronze Lions in their respective categories.

It was great to see BBH's Guardian 'Three Little Pigs' do so well collecting a raft of Lions in various categories as well Playstation 3's 'Michael' with Deutsch Los Angeles awarded a Silver Lion in the Short Format Internet Film.

And congratulations to all our clients, it's always exciting to see projects we've worked on pick up awards including Doritos 'Dip Desperado', P&G 'Best Job', Nike 'I would Run To You', Hennessy 'Manny', Barnardo's 'Life Story', ASOS 'Urban Tour', Heineken 'The Legendary making Of The Date', Old Spice 'Motorcycle', Nissan 'Gas Powered Everything', Unilever's 'The Dove Ad Makeover', and last but by no means least the British Heart Foundation's 'Vinnie'.
