McCann Honored with Three Grand Prix Lions at Cannes Lions Festival

McCann New York's "Fearless Girl" statue was placed in New York City's Financial District on the day before International Women's Day on March 7, 2017, to celebrate the power of women in leadership and to drive awareness around State Street Global Advisors' innovative SHE ETF that invests in companies with a higher percentage of women on corporate boards.

"There's nothing more rewarding than creating a piece of work like Fearless Girl that lands with such force in culture, and then sparks a global dialogue," said McCann's North American Chief Creative Officer Eric Silver. "To see the creative community responding with so much enthusiasm for the work is truly gratifying and makes me proud to be part of an agency that's making meaningful work."

McCann's wins at Cannes follow a strong run of recent accolades including its New York agency being named the most effective agency by the 2017 North American Effie Awards, rising 12 spots from 2016; Agency of the Year at the One Show; Agency of the Year and Digital Agency of the Year at the ADC Annual Awards; and Agency of the Year at the International ANDY Awards.
