Spirited debate

After days of spirited debate led by jury resident Adam Ferrier, chief thinker at Thinkerbell, the Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data jury announced the winners.

After scrutinising every piece of work, the jury awarded 35 Statues in Transformative Business Impact and 18 Statues in Creative Use of Data.

The Transformative Business Impact category celebrates creativity that plays an enduring role in transforming a business, including their operations, services, products, internal experiences, and customer experiences. The jury awarded a Grand LIA, 11 Gold, 12 Silver, 11 Bronze Statues and four finalists. Draftline, Shanghai won the Grand LIA this year, for their work created for Corona titled Corona Extra Lime.

The Creative Use of Data recognises work that demonstrates the fundamental role of data in inspiring, powering and enhancing creativity. This year, the jury is proud to announce that the Grand LIA has been awarded to McCann, New York for Where To Settle, which was created for Mastercard. They also awarded seven Gold, eight Silver and two Bronze Statues; five entries attained Finalist status.

“What was interesting about the Grand LIA winners is that they were for big brands that use the infrastructure of their brands to have a massive impact with various communities," shared Ferrier.,

“In complex categories such as Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data, the value of no pre-judging and the jury members seeing all the work becomes even more apparent and the metal awarded reflects this,” stated Terry Savage, LIA chairperson.
