GRAND PRIX AWARDS
-
Agency of the Year: Mindshare China took the top honour on the strength of 13 total awards: four golds, six silvers and three bronzes. Eight of those awards, including all four golds, came via three different campaigns for Nike, while work for QQ Star Milk garnered four silver awards and a campaign for HsuFuChi added a bronze.
- Platinum Award: 'The Chinese New Year Transfiguration of McDonald’s', a campaign by BBDO China, earned the platinum for 2020 on the strength of five wins: four golds and one silver. Using celebrity influencers and a liberal sprinkling of 'golden' elements, including a temporary name change to 'Golden Arches', the campaign helped the brand build its association with Chinese New Year and exceed sales goals.
