It’s been a grand week for the McCann Worldgroup as it received the “Network of the Year” award at the biggest and most celebrated festival for creativity and advertising, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. By day, the festival bloomed with talks and sessions dissecting the ins and outs of creativity in advertising; by night, the show transformed into a world-class award ceremony, honoring the campaigns and agencies that have embodied exactly that.
Collecting a whopping 73 Lions throughout the week for its imaginative works, this is a historical moment for the network as this is its first-ever time receiving such recognition from Cannes Lions, and rightly so as it garnered 5 Grand Prix Lions, 1 Titanium, 14 Gold, 17 Silver and 36 Bronze. With its grand total of Lions, the network topped DDB Worldwide and FCB Global which sat on the 2nd and 3rd spot, respectively.
Network’s tally of new Lions today = 7.
