The 64th annual Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity hosted the Creative Effectiveness Lions award ceremony on 23 June 2017.
Grand Prix-winning 'Van Gogh's Bedrooms: Let Yourself In.
Grand Prix-winning 'Van Gogh's Bedrooms: Let Yourself In.

The Creative Effectiveness Lions celebrate the measurable impact of creativity. Entries needed to demonstrate hard results over the long term: How the work drove tangible business effects, was instrumental to cultural change or integral in the achievement of brand purpose.

A total of 21 Creative Effectiveness Lions were awarded from the shortlist of 34. The Grand Prix went to Leo Burnett Chicago for Art Institute of Chicago’s temporary art exhibition ‘Van Gogh’s Bedrooms: Let Yourself in’. They were assisted in production by Ravenswood Studios and Starcom/MediavestSpark Chicago on media.

This delightful interactive experience let fans get a view of what it would be like to stay in Van Gogh's bedroom by bringing to life his 1888 'The Bedroom/Bedroom in Arles' painting and listing the room on Airbnb while also running a temporary art exhibition. The first block of night's sold out in just five minutes,and the story was covered in over 100 countries within a week. More importantly, ticket sales to the Art Institute of Chicago rose by 250% and it was their highest attended exhibit in 15 years. That's what we call creative effectiveness!

Egg Films’ Terence Neale also directed Adidas Originals' 'Your future is not mine' with Johannes Leonardo New York with production company RSA Films, which was awarded a Bronze Lion:
