Cheil Worldwide Seoul wins Cannes Grand Prix and two golds

On Monday, the campaign won two gold lions in the direct category.

The campaign, which was based on the consumer insight that tired and busy Koreans dreaded grocery shopping, centred around virtual stores for busy commuters in subway stations. The stores, which looked just like real stores, allowed shoppers to buy items by scanning codes with their mobile phones. After they had checked out, their groceries would arrive at their doorsteps as soon as they reached home. The campaign succeeded in making Homeplus South Korea's top online store, increasing user registrations by 76 per cent, and increasing online sales by 130 per cent.

Japan also brought home a gold lion in the media category with Hakuhodo Dy Media Partners Tokyo's campaign 'Your happy news is our top story' for Iwatte Nippo. The campaign won gold for 'best use of print'.
