#CannesLions2016: Media Lions winners!
The 2016 Cannes Media Lions award ceremony resulted in 97 awards in total, with a Silver Lion for South Africa.
The Grand Prix went to Y&R NZ Auckland/Y&R Media NZ Auckland/David Miami for their 'McWhopper' work for client Burger King in the 'Use of Integrated Media' category.
“This is brilliant work, brilliantly executed from a big brand taking on an even bigger competitor. It uses media to layer and whip up the story to provoke a fierce reaction,” said Jury President, Nick Waters, CEO Asia Pacific, Dentsu Aegis Network.
Native VML was also awarded a Silver Lion for their 'Twitter Refugees' Awareness message for client PASSOP in the 'Use of Social Platforms' category.
