Klick Health Wins Cannes Lions Health Agency of the Year Triple Crown

Concludes 2026 Cannes Lions sweeping three Agency of the Year accolades for Health with tonight’s ‘Independent Agency of the Year - Health’ honor

CANNES, France & TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Klick Health made more Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity history today, becoming the first agency ever to win three of the Festival’s top health agency trophies: “Healthcare Agency of the Year;” “Healthcare Network of the Year;” and “Independent Agency of the Year – Health.”

“The first time in history only happens once,” said Klick Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “This is an extraordinary moment for our people, our clients, and everyone who believes health creativity can do far more than win awards; it can change lives.”

Klick CEO Lori Grant said, “We’re incredibly proud to be recognized as Cannes Lions’ first triple-crown health agency. This milestone belongs to every Klickster who brings rigor, heart, and invention to the work every day, and to the clients who trust us to help move their brands, businesses, and the industry forward.”

The agency received 15 total honors for its work, including one Silver Lion each for its “867-5309” and “Infinite Saree” campaigns.

Klick created “867-5309” for Cancer Support Community’s and Gilda’s Club’s by turning a pop culture earworm into a lifeline for cancer support. The number, made famous by Tommy Tutone’s classic tune, pairs with area code 272 (or CSC) to connect callers to the organization's free national Helpline. Activated across radio, streaming, PR, and social, the campaign generated billions of earned media impressions and increased Helpline calls by 216 percent in just one week. The campaign was supported by Marina Maher Communications, Sonic Union, and Cory Dross/Farpoint Media.

Silver-Lion-winning “Infinite Saree” was created for women's safety and gender equality nonprofit Red Dot Foundation. It transforms India’s most iconic symbol of womanhood into a four-kilometer living petition calling for the removal of the Marital Rape Exception in India’s Penal Code. The campaign was produced in collaboration with INVNT, MediaMedic, TA2, and LightFarm.
