McCann Worldgroup UK & Europe’s Post

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."

In his article in ADWEEK, our Global Chief Creative Officer Javier Campopiano said: "When we laugh, when our barriers are brought down by an unexpected twist or a surprising human connection, we are more able to feel. This is the exact reason we come to Cannes: we want to feel, in real life, what it’s like to belong to this industry, to be on the winning side and celebrate, to be on the not-winning side and recharge ourselves with envy as the fuel, to be amazed about what people who do the same job as us are capable of achieving and question ourselves."
