NEW YORK, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann Worldgroup has been named to Fast Company's prestigious annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2020. The list honors the businesses making the most profound impact on both industry and culture, showcasing a variety of ways for businesses to thrive in today's fast-changing world.

"We are honored to be included on Fast Company's list of the World's Most Innovative Companies," said Harris Diamond, CEO of McCann Worldgroup. "Our success is truly a team effort, both between our clients and us, and between all of our people and agencies working together to deliver meaningful creative work with measurable business results."

The Fast Company honor follows an unprecedented year of recognition in both creativity and effectiveness awards. McCann Worldgroup was named Network of the Year at the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and ranked #1 on the 2019 Global Effie Effectiveness Index. The network was also recognized by Adweek as Global Agency of the Year, and was named Network of the Year by Campaign Magazine U.S. The awards shows lauded the McCann Worldgroup network for partnering with clients to give purpose to their brands and praised the agency for its creative bravery. McCann Worldgroup produces high-profile work for clients around the world, including GM/Chevrolet, L'Oréal, Mastercard, Microsoft, RB, Coca-Cola and Verizon.

Other milestones included McCann Worldgroup's establishment of its Innovation Council in partnership with clients that include Coca-Cola, Entel, GM, L'Oréal, Mastercard, Nestlé, Novartis, and RB. The group connects clients and the technology community at large to discuss and explore leading-edge innovative ideas and practices, and to offer actionable insights to marketers about how to apply emerging technologies to their brands. In addition, McCann Worldgroup worked with Wired magazine to create a two-part documentary series examining how AI is changing everyday life and presenting new marketing opportunities. Unveiled at the 2019 Cannes International Festival of Creativity, the documentary represented a first-of-its-kind approach to how marketing companies can position themselves as true thought leaders for clients.

Fast Company's editors and writers sought out the most groundbreaking businesses on the planet, across myriad industries, to compile The World's Most Innovative Companies list.
