risks in a world of ever-changing complexity, and an agency filled
with people who can bring ideas to life. I'm proud of our people
and thankful to our clients."
Rob Reilly, Global Creative
Chairman of McCann Worldgroup, added, "We are incredibly proud of
all of our people around the world. But what is even more
impressive is the quality of work that is currently being pumped
out by us as an industry. It is a badass time to be in
advertising."
McCann Worldgroup won its 63 Clios from agency offices in
Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Germany, India, Italy,
Peru, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, the U.K. and the U.S. and was ranked

McCann's 13 Gold Clios included McCann New York's work for the U.S.
Army in addition to "Fearless Girl," MRM//McCann Madrid's campaign for Santander Bank, and the McCann Worldgroup India/
"Immunity Charm" program.
Eric Silver, Chief Creative
Officer of McCann North America,
said, "We are humbled by the overwhelming global response to the
work we did for our State Street client. The Fearless Girl has
become a massive cultural icon that people not only talk about, but
make time to visit when they're in New
York City. This is the type of work we strive to produce
every day. We're lucky to have incredible clients who support us in
the work we do."
