Advertising Agency of the Year: McCANN New York
They took us on a bus ride to Mars for Lockheed Martin, bringing new dimension and meaning, literally, to VR as a storytelling vehicle–and in the process won assorted accolades, including 19 Cannes Lions. They satirized stereotypes about why women are underrepresented in computer science via a series of videos for Girls Who Code. They generated intense debate about gun control with the satirical “Toddlers” PSA for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. For Microsoft their “Woman Made” campaign shows girls citing the likes of Einstein, Edison and Tesla when asked to name inventors, underscoring that the achievements of males dominate what’s learned in school. Filling that gap is an anthem spot introducing us–and them–to assorted female inventors, inspiring these girls to make their own strides in science, technology, engineering and math. This is just some of the groundbreaking fare that came from McCann New York in 2016, providing a taste of what makes it SHOOT’s Agency of the Year.
For insights into the creative culture and inner workings at McCann, SHOOT will connect with among others…
- Nathy Aviram, chief production officer
- Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy, co-CCOs of McCann NY
- Kathy Love, executive integrated producer
- Rob Reilly, McCann Worldgroup creative chairman
- Eric Silver, chief creative officer of McCann North America
