The Group also took home the most Grands Prix.
Ben Coulson, Y&R regional chief creative officer commented, “Considering that a finalist at Cannes puts your work in the top 5% of work in the world, this week’s performance by our agencies is very special. I’m proud to be part of a group of people who love making top shelf work. Special thanks goes to our Auckland office, who’s performance was simply stunning, and to our many clients who allow us to be brave.”
