Nick Emery, Global CEO, Mindshare said, “We believe that everything begins and ends in media – that the whole world experiences brands first through media and that media is everything. Our success across so many Lions categories is validation of this belief, and having won with so many partners, validation of our open source and adaptive approach to media in a data driven world. Congratulations to all our clients and the teams who worked so hard to achieve these results.”
