McCann Worldgroup named Global Network of the Year

 

(New York, 5^th November 2018) LIA, one of the most prestigious Global award shows in Advertising, Digital, Technology driven work, Health & Pharma and Branded Entertainment, today announced the winners. The 33^rd Annual London International Awards judging convened over a 10-day period. The Juries, drawn from the world’s most recognized talent and presided over by industry leaders, viewed and scored every entry within their medium, ensuring that all the work was judged equally.

 

The Philippines brought home nine of the coveted LIA statues - 1 Gold, 5 Silver, and 3 Bronze. In total 705 LIA statues, in addition to finalists, were awarded from 40 countries.

 

“It’s good to see the Philippines do so well in Radio & Audio. They have shown to be a dominant force in these Media,” observed Barbara Levy, President of LIA.

 

Merlee Jayme?, Chairmom & CCO at Dentsu Jayme Syfu and LIA Radio & Audio Jury President commented, “I would describe my LIA experience as a week of joyful listening brought to a whole new level. It was life-changing listening-- from original music composed and produced real time for a thousand names, to an innovation enabling an ALS patient to regain his voice, to an album of gender friendly songs, to a hilarious story of a guy who needs to know when to stop talking, a series of motel classics - brilliantly written scripts, crafted beautifully with the perfect casting and direction. Having a neat mix of experts who ideates, produces and executes in one room, made us go through valuable discussions on these pieces. I would definitely say my jury picked out the best radio and audio work that would push the medium further to the future.”
