2022 Best of Show
“The Bread Exam” created by McCann Paris for Spinneys Supermarket – Lebanese Breast Cancer Foundation – AUBMC Hospital was honored with the title of Best of Show for the 2022 competition.
The agency earned top honors for their campaign that provided women with an option to share information about self-checking and avoid the cultural taboos that prevented Lebanese women from talking openly about their bodies. The solution, a recipe video teaching women to perform a self-exam and detect early signs of breast cancer. The video showed a traditional Lebanese baker demonstrating the steps of a breast self-exam through a similar gesture: the act of kneading and pressing dough. The gestures transformed an intimate and taboo subject into an acceptable, everyday experience.
Says Mateo Fernandez, executive creative director, McCann Paris: “We’re honored and humbled by the recognition and even though the results are overwhelming we still have a long way to go for awareness in women’s health. Excited to see what creativity can do to help various diverse communities.”
