NEW YORK, June 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity announced today that FCB won the coveted Network of the Year title, a first for the network in its 148-year history.

In total, FCB accumulated an amazing 80 Lions, consisting of two Titanium, five Grands Prix, 15 Gold, 26 Silver and 32 Bronze no easy feat, especially in these unprecedented times.

FCBs historic showing this year can be attributed to the creative leaders who comprise our global network, said FCB Worldwide Chief Executive Officer Carter Murray. One of Murrays top priorities since becoming CEO has been creating an environment where talented individuals can thrive and grow. Its also a testament to Global Chief Creative Officer Susan Credles creative vision.

This incredible honor has been a tremendous affirmation of FCBs Never Finished spirit and 456 scale, said Global Chief Creative Officer Susan Credle. And most importantly the generosity of the network-wide Global Creative Council (GCC) where, bi-yearly, our Chief Creative Officers come together to evaluate and amplify the brightest work around the global network. Credle, with worldwide creative partner Fred Levron, and the GCC, have put FCBs creative transformation on full display this week on the largest creative marketing stage in the world.
