We extend our heartiest congratulations to all Grand LIA Winners!

HONEST EGGS CO. “FITCHIX”
LIA Jury President, Guan Hin Tay, Creative Chairman BBDO Singapore, commented, “Selecting the Grand LIA became a delightful dilemma. The process of sieving through led us to the final three: Skittles’ “Apologize the Rainbow”, Samsung’s “Unfear”, and Honest Eggs Co’s “FitChix”.
After a spirited debate, it boiled down to “Apologize the Rainbow” and “FitChix”. “FitChix”, an unprecedented fitness tracker illustrating chicken activity levels on eggs, clearly stole the judge’s favour, having already clinched three golds and a bronze in various subcategories. Although Skittles’ campaign was stellar, FitChix’s innovation in affirming free and healthy lives for chickens was groundbreaking, leading to a unanimous decision for the Grand LIA.”

DESIGN: DENTSU, TOKYO
JAPAN RAILWAY 150TH ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN
LIA Jury President, Marjorieth Sanmartin, CCO, Philipp und Keuntje and fischerAppelt comments,”We had stand out pieces in both Design and Package Design. We were really happy to see such good quality of work. We’ve had jurors that have been in design for such a long time, yet this seemed so simple and fresh to us. There are some pieces that you know from the beginning that it is a Grand LIA. And this is what happened with this piece. Japan Railway was iconic and ticked so many boxes. We almost had to have a lottery to see who could bring that design home in our jury. That’s when you know you have made the right decision.”
