Over the past week at Cannes, Australia has won a record number of Lions pulling in 59 gongs in total, with George Patterson Y&R winning the most Golds.
Australia won 14 Golds, 14 Silvers, 30 Bronzes and an Effectiveness Lion.
The total tally of 59 significantly beats last year’s 35 Lions, and is well above the country’s largest haul in recent years of 45 Lions in 2009.
George Patterson Y&R received the highest score out of all Australian agencies, mainly for its work on 'Mobile Medic', which won four Gold Lions and a number of other gongs.
Whybin TBWA Tequila was the second strongest Australian agency, winning eight Lions in total, including two Golds.
The categories to take the most Lions were PR and Media, with ten each.
While the year was successful for Australia, no Lions were won in the Cyber or Mobile categories.
