IMPACT BBDO DUBAI WINS TWO GRAND LIAS AND 12 ADDITIONAL STATUES
 

(New York,18th October, 2022) Today, London International Awards (LIA), one of the world’s most prestigious Global Award Shows, continuing its tradition of a total focus on creativity is pleased to reveal its 2022 Winners from across 27 disciplines.  
 

Created for Creatives, LIA has the highest caliber of jurors from across the planet. All rounds of judging were done onsite in Las Vegas over nine days. Our judging process has no pre-judging. Each juror sees every piece of work in their respective Categories.  Each jury, along with their President, convened in their judging room to discuss and debate thoroughly before deciding on the Winners. This ensures that all work was judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions. 
 

This is the first time that Impact BBDO Dubai has won a Grand LIA.  They doubled their winning with not just one but two Grand LIAs. In addition, they were awarded, five Gold, six Silver, one Bronze Statue and one Finalist.
 

The two Grand LIA winners from Impact BBDO, Dubai were for two different pieces of work; TENA “Despair No More” in Health & Wellness and Anhar Newspaper “The Election Edition” in Non-Traditional.  
 

This year BBDO Agencies take home two Grand LIAs, five Gold, 14 Silver and nine Bronze and attain six Finalists.
 

The Jury Presidents for Health & Wellness and Non-Traditional were very impressed with the winning work.
 

According to Tim Hawkey, Chief Creative Officer of AREA 23 who presided over the Health & Wellness jury, “This work for TENA created a huge cultural movement; to rename menopause or ‘the age of despair’ as it was called in Arabic and ultimately changed the actual word in the dictionary. What an achievement in terms of scale and impact on the region.”
 

Doerte Spengler-Ahrens, Managing Creative Director of JvM SAGA & Partner at Jung von Matt and LIA Jury President of Non-Traditional said, “We gave the Grand LIA to a newspaper who donated their paper to the country so there was no excuse not to have an election. This piece of Non-Traditional work is not just about doing ads. It opened a new door." This piece of work also fared well in the inaugural Creativity in PR, winning several Silver Statues.
 

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said, “It’s an honor to win one Grand LIA, but to win two Grand LIAs for two different pieces of work is pushing creativity into the stratosphere of excellence.  Impact BBDO is our first-time Grand LIA winner and we are happy that it is a double honor for them. Heartiest Congratulations to the team and to all BBDO winners”

Notes to the Editor:

London International Awards (LIA) is the Creative Awards for Creatives. We stand as a champion of the creative process, creatives themselves, and of course, great creative ideas and executions, and are proud to award the best creative work each year.
 

Barbara Levy, was the first woman to start and operate an International Awards Show honoring multiple media types. Now, 37 years later, the company is still the only International Awards Show completely owned and operated by a woman.
 

LIA’s mantra is that creativity is everything in the advertising, design and technology business in all forms of media. That is why each year, LIA assembles the most celebrated creatives in the industry together in Las Vegas to judge all the submitted work.
 

All jurors are required to be on-site in Las Vegas for all rounds of judging. Every juror on every judging panel sees every piece of work within every category of their competitions at the same time. There is no pre-judging or division of the work amongst the jury. 
 

As a way to give back to the industry, LIA fully funds an educational program called Creative LIAisons at an approximate cost of $250,000 USD annually.  The mission of Creative Liaisons is to develop, educate, inspire and grow young creative talent. The goal of this initiative is to be the elite standard in creative coaching.
