A Gold Lion for Film Craft plus a Grand Prix win for Outdoor Lions, and now another gold and Grand Prix win under the first-ever Entertainment Lions for Sport, Wieden+Kennedy’s #DreamCrazy Nike Campaign is definitely on a roll, and critics say the initiative’s success so far isn’t surprising.

This is the first time the Cannes Lions Festival is recognizing this particular field, explaining that sports and eSports is a powerful tool that connects humans to each other, and people to brands. The award giving body looked into creativity breakthroughs within the sports marketing ecosystem, taking into consideration a campaign’s strategy, brand management, media, and even the personalities or stories within the campaigns.
