Congratulations to all our DDB network colleagues for whom the 56^th Cannes International Advertising Festival was highly successful! Well done to DDB Brazil which was awarded the title of Agency of the Year and won nine Lions. Further plaudits go to DDB&CO Istanbul for its third place in the Agency of the Year category. And last, but not least, congratulations to Tribal DDB Amsterdam which won a Film Grand Prix for Philips Carousel. This year, the DDB Worldwide network became the second most successful network at Cannes, while the title of Advertiser of the Year went to our client Volkswagen. Overall, 20 DDB offices from 16 countries received 52 Cannes Lions spanning 10 different media categories. Let’s hope that next year will be just as creative and lavish with ideas!
