SA agencies walk off with 16 Cannes Lions radio wins!

Fifty-eight Radio Lions were announced in Radio and Grey Germany Dusseldorf/Grey Germany Berlin collected the Grand Prix for SoundCloud, "The Berlin Wall of Sound - The Most Unbearable Radio Ad". Jury President Paul Reardon, Executive Creative Director, WHYBIN /TBWA Group Australia said the harrowing memorial work did not make for an easy listening experience. "In some ways it was more like walking through an audio museum than listening to a spot. It's macabre. It's somber. It's uncomfortable. It's 7 minutes and 32 seconds long. But conversations surrounding traditional radio, the rise of new radio and audio platforms are making headlines every second week. So strategically, the timing is perfect. As is the historical timing of the subject matter."

Ogilvy & Mather featured prominently on the list, with a Gold Lion for Suntory's 'Night Before the Project', as well as a Bronze Lion campaign for the Suntory 'Team Building Weekend' and 'Lacing Up Your Hightops' spots.

TBWA/Hunt/Lascaris Johannesburg was awarded the Gold Lions campaign for Tiger Brands Doom Insecticide's 'Lance the Bedbug', 'The O'Flannegan Cockroaches', and 'Cheryl the Fishmoth' spots, as well as a Silver Lion campaign for Flight Centre's 'Music Fest' and 'Beer Fest'.

DDB Johannesburg won the Silver Lions campaign for its Wrigley 'Country', 'Opera' and 'Disney' spots.
