Australian insurer Suncorp Group and Leo Australia have won the prestigious Titanium Grand Prix, the highest honour in global creativity, at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for Haven. The agency was also named Regional Network of the Year for the Pacific (ANZ).
Haven is an innovative digital tool designed to help Australian homeowners understand their properties’ vulnerability to extreme weather and how to protect it. Utlizing Suncorp’s proprietary data, Haven draws from 12 datasets, using APIs to create a cinematic experience that brings each home’s weather risks and resilience needs to life, alongside practical actions, connections to local trades, and a personalized resilience report.
The Titanium Grand Prix follows other wins for Haven, including two Silver Lions, one for Market Disruption and Transformation in Creative Data and another for Consumer Services/B2B in Brand Experience and Activation; and a Bronze for Personalised Campaigns in Direct.
Mim Haysom, CMO and Executive General Manager Brand and Customer Experience, Suncorp:
“We are so thrilled to have our resilience work for Suncorp globally recognized with a Titanium. It’s been a long-term commitment for us with this work taking our focus on resilience from an idea into an action that all Australians can benefit from. It took incredible teamwork to bring Haven to life, so a huge thanks and congratulations to our amazing collective team, this award is theirs.”
Andy Fergusson, Chief Creative Officer at Leo Australia: “It is truly humbling to have our work recognized in this way, and hard to put into words how proud I am of the team. This project was two years in the making and many more years in preparation. Everyone involved in Haven worked tirelessly to create something unique, that we believed could change behavior.”
“Congratulations to our talented creatives, business leads, producers and tech team at Leo. Our genius, unrelenting production partners at Unit 9, our media partners, and our incredible clients at Suncorp, who had belief in this idea from the beginning and did whatever it took to make Haven a reality, no matter what challenges it faced.”
Marco Venturelli, President and CCO at Leo, CCO at Publicis Groupe France and CEO/CCO at Publicis Conseil added: “We’re incredibly proud of Leo Australia, part of the Leo Constellation, for their tremendous success in the last two years, culminating in such strong wins in Cannes. This is testament to their capability to make great work for the Australian market and the impact achieved with strong client partnership. Marrying human insight and real innovation is at the heart of our vision. And for Leo Constellation, winning the top award of the festival two years in a row – it’s a reason to believe in it more than ever.”
Haven builds on Suncorp’s long-standing commitment to resilience, which began in 2021 with ‘One House’, winner of the Grand Prix for Innovation at Cannes in 2022, before evolving into ‘Resilience Road’. The overarching ‘Building a More Resilient Australia’ platform also won Silver at Cannes last year for Creative Business Transformation.
The Dan Wieden Titanium Lion awards recognize ideas that challenge convention, transcending categories to redefine the role of creativity in driving real-world impact. In a category increasingly shaped by climate risk, Haven flips the traditional insurance model, with a data-led digital experience that focuses on prevention over recovery. The win represents a significant milestone for both Leo Australia and Suncorp, reflecting years of collaboration, persistence and shared ambition.
