Grey Canada added a Gold Pencil in Film, as well as a Silver in Interactive and Bronze in Cross-Platform, to its work with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Canada’s other Gold wins came in the Film category, with Cossette winning for “Life Unpaused” with SickKids and Zulu Alpha Kilo picking one up for “Say No To Spec.”
Rethink added another Silver, for the “Uber Food Drive,” to its total from earlier in the week, giving the agency six Pencils, the most of all Canadian agencies at this year’s show.
In total, 13 Canadian agencies won 28 of the 556 Pencils given out at this year’s One Show. The wins gave Canada 710 points, putting it fifth in the country rankings behind Japan, France, the U.K. and the U.S.
