McCann London was the biggest contributor to McCann Worldgroup’s haul after McCann New York, which was also named Agency of the Year.

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said: “The jury members were very conscientious when it came to Statue discussions. They visited and revisited each piece of shortlisted work again and again. So you can be assured that the Statue winners in the 2016 LIA Awards come from a crop of work that is universally acknowledged as exceptional. And the Grand LIA winners are without doubt, the best of the best. So my highest congratulations to McCann on an extraordinary year.”

Alex Lubar, CEO of McCann London, added: “Our year keeps getting better and better! To not only win further awards but to take Network of the Year is testament to the momentum of creative excellence that has been built here by Rob Doubal and Laurence Thomson. But more than that, the whole of our agency – and indeed our partner agencies – should be proud of this achievement.”

“Survival Billboard” is an integrated campaign involving McCann London, Momentum, Craft and MRM.

The 31st LIA judging was held at the Encore at Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, convening over a ten-day period. The Juries, led by their respective Jury Presidents, viewed and scored every entry within their medium, ensuring that all the work was judged equally. They concluded with final discussions to determine Grand LIAs, Statue Winners and Finalists.

LIA ‘Of The Year Awards’ were decided based on a point system of the awarded work chosen by the Juries across all media.
