The global network also received the most Lions of any agency in the Publicis Groupe network.
"Saturday's show was a fitting finale to a remarkable story that we've been writing all week in Cannes — that's a story of world-class, future-facing creativity that we're delivering for some of the world's most iconic brands," said Mark Tutssel, global chief creative officer of Leo Burnett Worldwide. "To win two prestigious Titanium Lions for two blue-chip marketers like Samsung and P&G is a remarkable achievement, and testament to the caliber of work we're bringing to clients around the world. I couldn't be prouder."
Among the global network's top performing campaigns was P&G Always "#LikeAGirl," which closed out the week with 14 total Lions including one Grand Prix, one Titanium Lion, one inaugural Glass Lion award, seven Gold Lions, two Silver Lions and two Bronze Lions.

"37 Days" from Leo Burnett Paris for Atlantic Group also performed well, winning two Gold Lions and two Bronze Lions.
"Our top campaigns including '#LikeAGirl,' 'Intimate Words' and 'Safety Truck' not only created value for our clients, but inspired real change and conversation within society, which is something few campaigns can say," Tutssel added. "The history that Mexico and Argentina made with their respective wins is remarkable, and these groundbreaking wins will only keep coming."
