McCann’s Fearless Girl statue for State Street Global Advisors was the ‘the most adored’ of the 2017 Cannes Lions festival, winning four Grand Prix awards. However, the Film Lions were still the emotional center of the closing awards award show at the Palais on 24th June 2017.
“We’re looking for bravery, on the client side and the agency side,” Film jury president Pete Favat, North American chief creative officer at Deutsch, told Adweek before judging began. “I always look for the strength of the strategic idea. How did it move that brand forward? Those are the two things.”
