NEW YORK, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann Worldgroup won global "Network of the Year" honors this week at two major international creative awards shows. This achievement included being named both the 2015 "APAC Creative Agency Network of the Year" at the Mumbrella Magazine APAC Awards and the 2015 "Network of the Year" at the El Sol Festival honoring the best in Latin American and Iberian advertising.

Additionally, The Cyranos//McCann in Barcelona was named "Agency of the Year" at the El Sol Festival, taking home 23 awards (3 Gold, 9 Silver & 11 Bronze) for their work on clients ranging from the most global (Coca-Cola) to the most local (the Barcelona theater Teatreneu). This creative distinction follows on Cyranos//McCann's being named "Agency of the Year" just six months ago at the 2014 El Ojo de Iberoamerica Awards

The El Sol Festival, held annually in Bilbao, Spain, recognizes the best marketing work from communications companies in all Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries across the world. At the Mumbrella Magazine Awards, held in Sydney, Australia, McCann Worldgroup's PR partner, Weber Shandwick, was also named "APAC PR Agency Network of the Year."

"This is a huge achievement at two of the top creative shows in the regions," said Rob Reilly, Global Creative Chairman, McCann Worldgroup. "Our network of agencies continues to prove that doing meaningful work for both global and local clients is what leads to great results, which is what really matters. Winning awards is the by-product, not the motivation. But of course, it's a really nice by-product."

The El Sol Festival awards cited the performance of McCann Worldgroup's network of agencies around the world as the reason why McCann Worldgroup won the "Network of the Year" accolades. McCann Madrid, MRM//McCann Madrid, McCann Peru, McCann Ecuador and McCann Colombia all won important awards at the show and contributed to the network's leading performance.
