2017 Outdoor Lions Winners Revealed at #CannesLions
The winners of the prestigious Outdoor Lions Awards – sponsored for the eighth consecutive year by Clear Channel Outdoor, were announced at the #CannesLions International Festival of Creativity earlier this week.
Joint Grand Prix winners were: Twitter, for their brand campaign through Twitter San Francisco (shown above), and McCann New York for State Street Global Advisors’ ‘She ETF’ campaign and ‘Fearless Girl’ statue (shown below).
Outdoor Lions Jury President, Bruno Bertelli, Global Chief Creative Officer, Publicis WW, was quoted as saying “I understood the magic of outdoor advertising when I attended ad school. They really made us sweat over billboards and OOH activations. For good reason – it’s the ultimate stress test for creatives in the making. Ad schools still put a big emphasis on mastering the medium because it represents the synthesis of simplicity and the basics of creativity.”
