CANNES - The Promo & Activation category yielded seven Gold Lions for Australia and New Zealand agencies: three for Colenso BBDO Auckland, two for Y&R New Zealand and one each for Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney and Leo Burnett Sydney.
These seven awards accounted for nearly a third of the 23 Gold Lions awarded in the category.
The only Grand Prix in the category went to Venables Bell & Partners of San Francisco for its '#OptOutside' campaign for REI.
