William Eccleshare, Worldwide CEO of Clear Channel Outdoor told us that Nike’s win “is a truly fantastic example of how one single, powerful image applied to the giant creative out of home canvas can generate a huge social impact and provoke conversation.”

William Eccleshare, Worldwide CEO, Clear Channel Outdoor added “It is great to see so many outstanding creative examples of out of home from major brands across the globe being recognised by the jury this year, reinforcing both the relevance and universal power of the medium. Congratulations to all of the winners.”
Outdoor Lions Jury President, John Patroulis Worldwide Chief Creative Officer, Grey, said “As our human experiences become more and more individual, staring into screens customized to only us, this [Outdoor] is one of the last places we create for people to experience as a group. Which carries with it the responsibility to make where you’re at, somehow, better: through entertainment, utility, beauty, insight, craft, emotion. The canvas doesn’t get any bigger than ‘not inside.’”
In total 2,389 entries from 66 countries were entered, with 65 campaigns winning Lions. The jury awarded one Grand Prix, 10 Gold, 20 Silver and 34 Bronze Lions.
