Klick Health Brings Home 8 Cannes Lions, Moves up to #3 Overall Independent Agency While Maintaining #2 Healthcare Agency and #2 Healthcare Network Agency of the Year Rankings

Agency’s wins extend way beyond health categories, with Innovation Grand Prix + 5 additional trophies in Film, Entertainment, and Digital Craft – reaffirming that ‘great work is great work’

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Klick Health ended the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity on another high note on Friday evening, earning the title of World’s #3 Independent Agency of the Year and winning its eighth statue for the week – a Silver Lion in the prestigious Film category for its animated short ‘47.’

The night concluded an action-packed week for Klick on the Cannes Lions stage – doubling its number of wins from last year with the Innovation Grand Prix, Gold Lions in Entertainment and Pharma, Silver Lions in Film, Entertainment, and Digital Craft, and Bronze Lions in Entertainment and Health & Wellness. It was also named the number-two Healthcare Agency and number-two Healthcare Network of the Year for the second year running.

“We are humbled by the recognition our work has been receiving, both on and off the stage, and we applaud all our Klicksters for prioritizing outcomes over optics,” said Klick Co-Founder and Chairman Leerom Segal. “By working closely with our clients to prioritize patient outcomes, we create work that makes a difference in people’s lives. Prioritizing outcomes led us down the path of researching and developing ‘Voice 2 Diabetes,’ and creating ‘American Cancer Story,’ ‘47,’ and so many other incredible campaigns over the past year.”

Agency Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy added, “The esteemed Cannes juries have made it abundantly clear that great work is great work, full stop. A huge call-out to everyone on our team for their passion, empathy, and expertise. Thank you for creating impactful, innovative work that helps people and creatively stands alongside that of the biggest consumer brands in the world.”

Over the course of the week, Klick received the festival’s Innovation Grand Prix and Pharma Gold Lion for ‘Voice 2 Diabetes,’ a smartphone app that turns voice samples into an equitable life-saving tool using AI to detect Type 2 diabetes through subtle vocal changes imperceptible to the human ear. It received four trophies (a Silver Film Lion, a Silver Digital Craft Lion, a Bronze Entertainment Lion, and a Bronze Health & Wellness Lion) for the animated film '47,' and Gold and Silver Entertainment Lions for 'American Cancer Story.'

Last year, Klick was ranked both the world’s number-two Healthcare Agency and number-two Healthcare Network of the Year, as well as the overall #10 Independent Agency of the Year at Cannes. It was also recognized with four Cannes Lions: a Gold in Design; Silver in Digital Craft; Bronze in Health & Wellness; and Bronze in Pharma.
