The Weber Shandwick Collective (TWSC) was awarded 37 Lions at the 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in partnership with its clients, including one Grand Prix, ten Gold Lions, 7 Silver Lions and 19 Bronze Lions. Overall, the network was the most recognised PR agency at Cannes for a second straight year, credited on 131 shortlists, including 16 as idea agency and 115 as PR. This year’s wins bring TWSC’s cumulative total to over 225 Cannes Lions.

Work that transformed, inspired and energized:

Weber Shandwick broke new ground on the final day of the festival with a Grand Prix win in Brand Experience with “The First Edible Mascot” for Kellanova – marking the first time any PR agency has secured the honor in this category with an idea credit. Led by Weber Shandwick for Kellanova, and in partnership with FCS, Publicis, and more, The First Edible Mascot placed Pop-Tarts at the centre of the broader snacking conversation. Knowing mascots are the ultimate symbol of team spirit, the first edible mascot was born… and then eaten… to wow the crowd of the Pop-Tarts Bowl in a Crazy Good way. The result was the biggest campaign in Kellanova’s brand history, leading to 21M more Pop-Tarts sold in the eight weeks after the game than in the comparable period before.
