After a decade of making Microsoft a brand that empowers us all, we salute you Kathleen Hall and wish you well!
After 16 years at Microsoft, I have decided to return to New York and take some time off before my next adventure. It's been a great ride, and I am very thankful for my time, my team, and all that we accomplished together.
Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2024 was an amazing week where we showed the power of #MWTogether. The week was full of incredible wins, the result of months of hard work and collaboration with our clients and across our network. There were so many moments of immense pride. Our screening of “The Final Copy of Ilon Specht,” which we created in partnership with L'Oréal Paris, TRAVERSE32 – directed by the brilliant Ben Proudfoot of Breakwater Studios, that celebrates the extraordinary story of courage, creativity and conviction of the life of Ilon Specht the talent behind L’Oréal Paris’ iconic tagline, “Because I’m Worth It,” counts among those moments. Thank you to everyone across our global network for you talent, drive, tenacity and creativity. Thank you to our clients. And thank you to Cannes Lions 2024 for inspiring our creative community every year with this remarkable event. #McCannWorldgroup #CannesLions2024 #TruthWellTold
Thank you to Campaign UK for highlighting the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity award success of our McCann UK colleagues – in particular McCann London. In their words, “McCann was the most successful UK agency at turning its Cannes Lions nominations into gold or Grand Prix awards, topping several categories this year.” It’s always an honor to win at Cannes, and we have our clients to thank for that. Without them, we would not be able to practice the radical creativity and truth-telling that is so central to our mission at McCann Worldgroup. #McCannWorldgroup #TruthWellTold Javier Campopiano
We're delighted that McCann has been named as the most successful UK agency at turning its Cannes Lions nominations into gold or Grand Prix awards, topping several categories this year. Although UK agencies overall were awarded 37% fewer golds or Grands Prix compared with 2023, as Polly McMorrow, chief executive at McCann London, reflected: “This year we witnessed never-seen-before wins from countries such as Iceland who won their first ever Lion for Olgerdin and Kazakhstan who won their first gold, for a powerful domestic violence campaign."

Congratulations to our friends and colleagues at Weber Shandwick who have won the prestigious Brand Experience & Activation Lions Grand Prix for their work on "The First Edible Mascot" for Pop-Tarts (Kellanova)!
