FCB Breaks Its All-Time Record in Cannes, Earning 51 Lions


CANNES, France, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- With a grand total of 51 Lions ? four Grand Prix, 18 Gold, 12 Silver, 16 Bronze and its first-ever coveted Titanium Grand Prix, FCB garnered more accolades than in its 146-year history at the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Included in these honors are FCB Inferno outperforming other UK agencies with the most Gold trophies won, FCB Ulka notching India's only Gold Lion at this year's Festival and FCB/SIX achieving Grand Prix glory! FCB New York's "Whopper Detour" campaign for Burger King had a monumental performance and was hailed by Cannes Lions as the inaugural "Creative Brand of the Year."

With a grand total of 51 Lions ? four Grand Prix, 18 Gold, 12 Silver, 16 Bronze and its first-ever coveted Titanium Grand Prix, FCB garnered more accolades than in its 146-year history at the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

FCB's success is an overwhelming testament to Global Chief Creative Officer Susan Credle's creative vision and mandate, which has been expertly infused into the trailblazing creative work of each of the network's more than 120 offices in 80 countries worldwide. FCB Worldwide Chief Executive Officer Carter Murray's dedication to building and maintaining its diverse talent pool has elevated FCB by fostering a uniquely inclusive environment where talent is valued above all else.

"At FCB, we believe the best brands are Never Finished stories. Award shows are important measurements of progress, but are not the destination," Credle said. "Our focus is to create work that moves those stories forward, work that improves clients' business outcomes, work that matters to people outside the industry and work that improves this industry. Across the board, that is the kind of work I saw honored at this year's Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. As an industry, we proved this year that creativity is an economic multiplier for businesses. Marketing is not an expense, it is an investment. And when you invest in creativity, it pays off enormously. Viva la advertising!"

FCB's dedication to innovation was on full display throughout the week. The network presented a variety of groundbreaking panels and conversations, including:

"It has been a breakout Cannes for FCB, and being recognized as one of the top three global networks there has been both humbling and inspiring for our network," said Murray. "Whilst it is our passion and mission to continue making bold creative for our clients, what I am proudest of when I think of our network is the mindset of our people: Our people profoundly believe in better. We enjoy what we achieve with our clients, but are Never Finished; always looking for what is the next groundbreaking work we can do together."
