We celebrated the Festival’s 70th anniversary, recognized the creative industry’s most inspiring and impactful work and took part in shaping the next wave of creativity.
We had an exciting week of thoughtful and inspiring conversations, fostering new connections and most importantly, celebrating ¼«ÀÖÊÓƵ's Lions Awards. ¼«ÀÖÊÓƵ won 9 Lions during the Festival: 1 Gold, 4 Silver and 4 Bronze Awards, and we were honored to have dozens more recognitions, with an additional 17 Lions partner wins and 22 total shortlists. With more than 27,000 entries each year, only around 3% receive a coveted Lion of any sort. Our wins recognized 5 separate campaigns across 6 different Lions categories, a truly impressive display of ¼«ÀÖÊÓƵ’s variety of work and spectrum of expertise. The work spans across three regions and four countries and is more work than we have ever been recognized for in a single year before.

When we ask ourselves, what has really changed in the last year? The truth is that everything has. Consumers are feeling the pressure from every corner of our world - from the micro, everyday things like paying their bills to the macro, big picture things, like the smog outside their city windows.
