Awards include Two Silver and Two Bronze Lions
NEW YORK, June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — At the 66th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, VaynerMedia and in-house production company, VaynerProductions, won four Cannes Lions, a first for both companies. The awards include a Bronze Lion in Film and a Silver and Bronze Lion in the inaugural Entertainment for Sport category for Budweiser’s “Dwyane Wade’s Last Swap,” and a Silver Lion in Branded Experience & Activation for Miracle Whip’s “No More Mayo.”
Budweiser’s multi-award winning execution was an emotionally driven campaign that highlighted not only the career of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, but more importantly the lives he’s touched off the court.
For Miracle Whip,VaynerMedia and VaynerProductions helped put the town of Mayo, Florida back on the map by changing its name to Miracle Whip. With close to zero dollars in paid media, the idea received over one billion earned media impressions and the brand saw its first sales lift in 12 years.
