Y&R nabbed its second Grand Prix for its highly publicised Burger King ‘McWhopper’ campaign, which has been a consistent winner throughout the festival.
It won the coveted award over the categories 2,984 other entries, 97 of which were awarded with Lions.
Jury president and Dentsu Aegis Network chief executive Asia Pacific Nick Waters said: “This is brilliant work, brilliantly executed from a big brand taking on an even bigger competitor. It uses media to layer and whip up the story to provoke a fierce reaction.”
