We are proud to have our continued work with Mastercard recognized at this year's Cannes Lions Festival. From introducing "True Name" in 2019 to helping refugees with "Where to Settle," our work with the brand is rooted in inclusivity, opening opportunities for everyone to have access to a better financial system and the support to experience their own Priceless moments. This body of work, dubbed "Inclusive by Design," was awarded a Gold Lion in Creative Strategy and a Bronze Lion in Creative Effectiveness. Congratulations to the team and Mastercard for this recognition along with all the incredible work from McCann Worldgroup that won Lions! 

We took home two Cannes Lions for "ADLaM" for Microsoft - Silver in Creative Effectiveness and Bronze in Creative Strategy. Congratulations to our amazing team and client who made this possible! #CannesLions2024

This week we kicked off the first session of McCann New York’s and VCU Brandcenter’s partnership program, “Think Like a CMO,” a professional development workshop that aims to help the talented rising leaders of McCann gain a broader view into business fundamentals to better understand clients’ needs — all within the office. Some of our McCanners were VCU alums themselves! To truly deep dive into a business leader’s perspective, we invited John Harrobin, leader of Frontier Internet’s Consumer business, for a fireside chat with our CEO Amber Guild. We’re thrilled that this curriculum was made a reality for our team with VCU Brandcenter. Thank you Vann Graves, Executive Director at VCU Brandcenter and Marc Johnson, lecturer and member of the VCU Brandcenter Director’s Council for guiding such an interactive conversation and workshop. Stay tuned for our next session in July!

Incredibly honored that our work for Microsoft with "ADLaM" is a winner of Fast Company's 2024 World Changing Ideas in the advertising category. ADLAM is a powerful example of how creativity can enrich humanity – helping to preserve a beautiful culture and language. Said Abdoulaye Barry, who created the early handwritten form of ADLaM with his brother Ibrahima, "If you want to save your language, you have to be able to write it.” Congratulations to our teams who continue to create culture defining work that drives meaningful change in the world. #FCWorldChangingIdeas Read more below! https://lnkd.in/eKM4kFhV
