#CannesLions2017: Pharma and Health & Wellness Lions winners!

Cannes Lions' Healthcare agency of the year: Area23, New York.
Cannes Lions' Healthcare agency of the year: Area23, New York.

Lions Health, now in its fourth year, celebrates creative excellence in health communications, creativity for personal well-being and an inspired approach to consumer healthcare. It comprises work that publically educates, promotes non-prescription products, allows self-diagnosis or facilitates pro-active personal care. As a result, the award ceremonies were preceded by insightful talks from the likes of ‘Astronauts, surgeons, agencies and Aesop’.

Entries into the Health & Wellness Lions totalled 2,245 this year, with 65 Lions awarded. The Grand Prix went to 'Meet Graham' by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, Australia, for Transport Accident Commission Victoria.

The Pharma Lions then, which celebrate creative communications from pharmaceutical clients and services, saw a total of 590 entries with 25 Lions awarded and no Grand Prix on the night.

Toasting good health awards

The Lions Health Grand Prix for Good, open to Gold Lion-winning entries ineligible for a Grand Prix in their section, was also awarded to 'Immunity Charm' by McCann Health, New Delhi/McCann Worldgroup India, Mumbai, for Ministry of Public Health, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

The Healthcare Agency of the Year was awarded to Area 23, New York; second to Medulla Communications, Mumbai; and third to McCann Health, New Delhi.

The Healthcare Network of the Year went to McCann Health; second to FCB Health; and third to The CDM Group.

In addition, the pneumonia awareness campaign “Not available in your country” was announced as the winner of the 2017 Young Lions Health Award. Created by art directors Giulia Marchi and Giovanni Santoni at Sudler International Milan, WPP Health & Wellness, Italy, it was one of 64 entries. This year’s competition was held in partnership with Unicef and ‘la Caixa’ Banking Foundation. Participants were required to submit a creative, multi-channel campaign to be launched on World Pneumonia Day, 12 November.
