The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is home to the world's most prestigious advertising awards and to be recognised in them is a great achievement. We are incredibly proud of all of our member agencies featured in this year's awards. 

From slurping noodles, to mistaking trains for ubers, this year's work showcased that the industry is truly embracing the weird and wonderful. Alongside this, the winning campaigns had a focus on busting myths, with a concentration on hard-hitting topics such as, breaking the silence on mental health, protecting young people on social media, and reducing waiting times for NHS patients. 

Below, we have highlighted just a few of the award winning/shortlisted case studies from this year's festival, available on the Creativebrief platform...

One gamer was hired and used simulated game data and skills from his in-game experience to help Bromley FC achieve their best season ever.

EE: Unfinished

To mark International Women’s Day, Saatchi & Saatchi enlisted former Lioness striker Ellen White to launch Unfinished, a memoir with a very important difference. The book tells the story of her journey into the sport - but abruptly stops short after just 21 pages at the former England captain’s teenage years, the age that many girls across the UK drop out of sport.
