We have had a fantastic performance at this year’s Cannes Awards. Clemenger Group Agencies have received an all time record of 16 Lions. Colenso BBDO Auckland and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne in particular who won 6 and 8 Lions respectively.

We won awards in Promotions, Cyber, Direct, Outdoor, Design, Film and Media, proving we can compete and beat the best in the world in all these disciplines. This makes us the Number 1 Agency in New Zealand and Australia. And, the biggest single contribution to BBDO Worldwide 52 Lions.  And, as a consequence BBDO winning the Cannes Network of the Year title.

	Andrew Robertson, CEO of BBDO Worldwide, highlighted Clemenger’s role as the single biggest contributor to BBDO’s record haul: "By my reckoning, Clemenger Group agencies bagged sixteen Lions this year. This is an extraordinary achievement and a remarkable testament to the talent, the focus on the work, and the sheer commitment your people have. Congratulations, and thank you,"
	Robert Morgan, Executive Chairman of the Clemenger Group, says the awards are a reward for the hard work the Agencies have put in to developing and selling world-class ideas: "We won awards in Promotions, Cyber, Direct, Outdoor, Design, Film and Media, proving we can compete and beat the best in the world in all these disciplines"
