Revolver/Will O’Rourke came home from Cannes with its name on Lions in seven separate categories…MediaMonks with 23 Lions.

These two creative production companies are among Cannes 2014’s biggest winners.

Both companies are exploring the perimeters of what it means to be a production company. The freedom they have given themselves to explore what they do creatively and the entrepreneurial verve they use to produce their work, are paying off. Pencils, Lions and other glass or metal book-ends, door-stoppers and paperweights are adland’s currency of choice.

Revolver/Will O’Rourke was the production company behind ANZ GAYTMs’ Grand Prix in Outdoor, 2 Silver PR Lions, 2 Bronze for Direct, 1 Bronze in Media and 1 Bronze in Promo & Activation.

You’ve noticed two other factors while reading this, haven’t you? Revolver/Will O’Rourke, like The Glue Society, is an enthusiastic and agile collaborator…and both could credibly be called ‘adpeople without borders’. The whole world really is their oyster.
