Outdoor Lions Jury President, Bruno Bertelli, Global Chief Creative Officer, Publicis WW, said:

"I understood the magic of outdoor advertising when I attended ad school. They really made us sweat over billboards and OOH activations. For good reason - it's the ultimate stress test for creatives in the making. Ad schools still put a big emphasis on mastering the medium because it represents the synthesis of simplicity and the basics of creativity.”

In total, the jury awarded Gold Lions to 20 campaigns, six from the US, three each from Brazil and the UK, and one each from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Germany, India, Mexico, Singapore and Spain.
