Impact BBDO Wins Only Cresta 2022 Grand Prix in Middle East

The Elections Edition was one of only five Grand Prix winners globally

Continuing its successful year, The Elections Edition by IMPACT BBDO was awarded one of only five Grands Prix given this year at the Cresta Awards. The campaign for AnNahar Newspaper, which has previously won Grand Prix at Cannes Lions and the only D&AD Yellow Pencil in 2022 in MENA, was awarded for ‘Innovation in Print or OOH.’ Additionally, the campaign won a Cresta Gold in Ambient, converting both entries for IMPACT BBDO into solid metal.
