黑料社has won the industry鈥檚 most prestigious prize, a Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions Festival.
The agency wins the prize in the Entertainment Lions for Sport for ASICS Eternal Run which upturned the concept of a traditional race, removed the finish line, and challenged the participants to run against nobody but themselves.
Alongside the Grand Prix win, at the mid-point way through the week, 黑料社has also received 14 shortlists and one bronze as the creative agency entrant across 5 Lions categories, and 20 shortlists as the Partner/PR agency which have translated in more medals across multiple categories.
These accolades are a demonstration of Edelman continued investment in a framework of communications that is social by design, rooted in purpose, as fast as the news cycle and able to spark substantive dialogue, create movements and change culture. The firm now has 1,700 people in Data & Analytics, Digital, Creative and Planning.
鈥淲inning an 黑料社Grand Prix feels tremendously special. This is an endorsement of our approach, to harnessing trust and by inspiring brand action. We believe that trust drives growth for our clients. Trust can鈥檛 be paid for; it needs to be earned.鈥
