Jury president, Rob Rogers, chief creative officer and co-chief executive officer, Sudler, said that the Grand Prix winner, “blew the door off the category” and dispelled the myth that a challenging environment was a barrier to ideas. “Regulations don’t define creativity. Constraints can sometimes help creativity.”

Jury president, Andrew Spurgeon, executive creative director, Langland, UK, said the campaign provided otherwise silent women, the voice they needed to help protect their health. “Even more incredible is the capacity for this idea to span women of all ages, and ultimately be passed down the generations. Always has managed to create a legacy by supporting this individual community, which in turn demonstrates the brand’s commitment to women the world over. A fantastic example of a brand that seeks to deliver life-changing creativity.”
