FCB Chicago Named Top Creative Agency in North America at Cannes Lions 2020/2021
September 17 2021 - 1:56PM
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity announced
today that they have chosen FCB Chicago as the top creative agency
in North America, ranking it third in the world overall.
“This is an extremely gratifying moment for us all,” said FCB
Chicago Chief Creative Officer Andrés Ordóñez. “This achievement is
only possible because of our brave clients and our amazing teams
that showed up every day with their Never Finished drive. Together,
we can accomplish anything. This is just the beginning for FCB
Chicago.”
The agency notched 24 total wins, including wins for “Boards of
Change” on behalf of the City of Chicago and “Contract for Change,”
created in partnership with FCB New York, for AB InBev. Both
campaigns achieved Titanium glory — a prestigious honor given
to game-changing work that breaks new ground. “Boards of
Change” won an astounding 14 Lions total, including a Grand Prix.
“Contract for Change” garnered nine significant wins during the
Festival, including a Grand Prix.
FCB Chicago also won a Silver Lion for “Bedtime Stories” — its
first Lion for Walmart since becoming the company’s lead creative
agency for Reputation — and shortlisted for Canon’s “Long Live
Love” CES activation and Chicago Public Library’s “Live From the
Library” campaign.
“It is a tremendous honor to be recognized as the number one
creative agency in North America and third in the world,” said FCB
Chicago President Kelly Graves. “We have spent the last 18 months
laser focused on the work across all of our brands, ensuring our
creative end product has the power to grow businesses and build
brands. We are proud to say that our 2020/2021 Cannes Lions
performance was our best ever and we look forward to building on
this momentum in the years to come.”
This incredible showing at Cannes Lions comes on the heels of an
impressive year for FCB Chicago, including the launch of its new
Upstream Inclusion practice, which aims to help businesses reframe
how they should be addressing their respective consumer audiences
through an enhanced inclusivity lens. Earlier this year, the agency
was also selected as Groupon’s global creative partner and as
Safelite’s creative agency of record.
All of this effort has contributed to the FCB network’s best
year yet including being named Network of the Year at Cannes Lions
2020/2021 and Global Agency of the Year by Adweek.
