Winners of Communication Track Lions comprising Design Lions, Mobile Lions, Outdoor Lions, Print & Publishing Lions and Radio & Audio Lions were honoured on Day 2 of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2018. The Communication Track is dedicated to the big creative idea – where campaigns come to brilliant life through people, partnerships and processes. 

Indian agencies brought home 3 Bronze Lions in two categories – Outdoor and Print & Publishing. 

In Outdoor Lions, Creativeland Asia won a Bronze for its works – Madhubani, Pattachitra, Warli – done for Mercedes Benz India. Grey India, too, won a Bronze Lion in this category for its The Health Purse (Sehat Ka Batua) campaign for Mahindra Rise, which creates awareness about self-examination for breast cancer. This work also won a Silver Lion in the Health & Wellness category on Day 1 of the Festival. 

A total of 2,628 entries were received for Outdoor Lions and 91 Lions were awarded – 15 Gold, 29 Silver and 45 Bronze and two Grands Prix were honoured: 

‘Next Exit’, ‘Just Missed Us’, ‘On Your Left’, ‘On Your Right’ campaign by Cossette, Toronto/ McDonald’s Toronto for McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Limited, Canada.

It shows the way forward for print – demonstrating the blend of mediums that can co-exist to present more powerful messages,” said Print & Publishing Lions Jury President, Kate Stanners, Chairwoman & Global Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi. 

In the Design Lions, 1,248 entries were received and 70 Lions awarded – 7 Gold, 25 Silver and 37 Bronze. The Grand Prix went to ‘Trash Isles’ by AMVBBDO, London for Plastic Oceans/ Ladbible, United Kingdom.
