Ogilvy wins 140 awards at Cannes
Ogilvy has won 140 awards at the just concluded 2017 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity Awards which held in France.
The 64th edition of the award saw Ogilvy winning the 140 awards including one Titanium Lion, four Grand Prix, 33 Gold Lions, 33 Silver and 69 Bronze.
Speaking about his firm winning the 140 awards, the Worldwide Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ogilvy, Mr. John Seifert, said that Ogilvy won the awards because of its focus on collaborating more with its clients at Cannes.
He said, “The work celebrated here demonstrates the courage of our clients in using creativity to fuel their businesses, build purpose and make their brands matter. We truly have a world class creative community that continues to set the standard of work across the industry.”
Also speaking, Worldwide Co-Chairman and Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy, Mr. Tham Khai Meng, said the firm was glad to have been recognised and awarded for its hard work in the various categories, stressing that he was most grateful for Ogilvy winning a Grand Prix for the Refugee Nation campaign.
Expressing his gratitude to most of the staff of the organisation, Khai said he was grateful to all the brave, creative visionaries across the world for their assiduous work which had given the firm a global recognition.
He said, “We are extremely proud of the success of the Refugee Nation campaign, our work with Amnesty International and most importantly, the original collaboration with Yara Said and Moutaz Arian that started it all. We won multiple awards at Cannes this year, in particular for the Refugee Nation campaign, but for us, what is most important is that this campaign was able to raise awareness and bring worldwide attention to the refugee crisis. This achievement symbolises that anything is possible when a small group of people comes together with a great idea to make a difference.
“We thank all the brave, creative visionaries across the world with whom we share these awards. We are so proud of our network and our fearless clients who continue to amaze us with their relentless creative ambition. We will not stay still – we will continue to innovate and push boundaries in our work and attitudes to benefit the industry as a whole and for the wider good of society.”
Ogilvy was number one in share-of-voice on Twitter at the festival compared to all other brands/agencies. #OgilvyCannes earned over 250 million impressions on Twitter and was the most used hashtag outside of the official #CannesLions hashtag for the fifth year in a row. Ogilvy’s video coverage with Cannes in a Minute and Facebook LIVE placements, from the likes of CNBC, garnered more than 2.1 million video views.
