TBWA\WHYBIN, AUCKLAND TAKES OUT INNOVATIVE MEDIA GRAND CLIO

Juries for the 47th international Clio Awards tonight announced Grand Clio winners for “best-in-show” in five of six categories, as well as a total of 29 Gold Clio winners for the evening at the Clio Content & Contact, Print, Internet, Design, Innovative and Integrated Media Awards Gala at the Jackie Gleason Theater in South Beach, Miami, part of the annual Clio Festival, May 13-16.

With just under 19,000 submissions received from around the world, only about one percent of all entries qualify to receive a Gold Clio. If judges determine a Gold winner is “best-of-the-best” in the category, they have the opportunity to bestow an even higher honor: the Grand Clio.
