Edelman and Ogilvy: among the world’s best at creating purpose-driven advertising

A team of 88 judges, representing communication and advertising agencies, selected the winners of the 96 trophies awarded at Luum 2024. The judges’ panel included Hope Nardini (Global Executive Creative Director, Grey U.S) Sam Haynes (Global Creative Director, Grey London), Bontu Yousuf (Program Manager, Centre for Nature and Climate, World Economic Forum, Switzerland), Francesco Grandi (Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy UK), Raimundo Undurraga (Chief Creative Officer, VML Chile), Omar Fabián Jiménez (Chief Creative Officer LATAM, Studio X (WPP x The Coca-Cola Company), Marco Versolato (Chief Creative Officer, VML Singapore), Vasco Rocha (Chief Executive Officer Imagine DDB Mozambique), Laurence Hoenig (Head of the Creative Content Unit, Médecins Sans Frontières), James Fox (CEO, Havas London) and Oana Bulexa (CEO, Partner Publicis Groupe Romania), just to name a few. 

The first round of scoring was followed up by a second round of judging, with a select committee of judges that gathered at the Hilton in Geneva, Switzerland on October 17, to select the winners of the festival’s four Grand Prix (GP). Edelman won two GP with its cases “Code My Crown,” for Dove/Unilever, and “The Wild Algorithm (Reset),” for Ampara. The other two GP were awarded to De la Cruz / Ogilvy (Puerto Rico) for “Car Parts for Life” for the Plaza Las Américas Mall and the Stefano Foundation for Organ Donation. “Car Parts for Life” was also named the Festival’s campaign of the year. 

Edelman was also named Network of the Year, beating out VML, which won this distinction last year. The Peruvian agency Valor (2) was named as the Independent Agency of the Year, thanks to the five gold medals that it secured with its case “The Culinary Ranking For Good,” for Alicorp. TANK Worldwide of Canada (3) and Manifiesto of Spain (4) are also among the top 5.
