Cannes Lions 2022 Engagement winners and more
The Unfiltered History Tour for VICE Media, by Dentsu Creative, Bengaluru / Dentsu Creative, Mumbai / Dentsu Creative, Guragaon, took home its third Grand Prix of the week, following Grands Prix in the Radio & Audio Lions and the Brand Experience & Activation Lions earlier in the week.
Creative B2B Lions
Honouring game-changing creative work in the B2B space, which displays both creativity and effectiveness in advertising products and services purchased by professionals on behalf of businesses, 415 entries were received and 14 Lions awarded by the jury: three Gold, four Silver and six Bronze.
The Grand Prix went to Speaking in Color, for Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings, by Wunderman Thompson Minneapolis.
Creative B2B Lions jury president, Paul Hirsch, president, chief creative officer, Doremus, Global says: “It’s been an exciting first year for the Creative B2B Lions. Going in, nobody knew what to expect but it turns out we had quite a few contenders for the Grand Prix. Any one of them could have won. In the end what made the difference was the winning work’s strategy, deep understanding of its audience, and exceptional and personal brand experience.
“In the past, B2B has often surfed in the wake of B2C, but I have a feeling this work will flip the script and have deep B2C implications in the near future.”
