TBWA\Vancouver Young Lions Win Competition

TBWA\Vancouver is very pleased to announce that two members of our creative department, Jon Murray and Addie Gillespie, are national winners in the 2008 Young Lions competition sponsored by the Globe and Mail.

Jon and Addie, both copywriters for the agency, won for their concept in the Print Category. As a result of their efforts, Jon and Addie have won a trip to Cannes and the opportunity to compete in the International Young Lions Competition at the Cannes Festival in June.

The Young Lions competition is open to Canadian advertising creatives who are under the age of 28. Participants were given 24 hours to create an ad for print or online executions, or 48 hours for film ads.

"We're really proud of Jon and Addie" said Paul Little, Creative Director at TBWA\Vancouver. "Going to Cannes is a great experience and a fantastic reward for a lot of hard work and great thinking."
