The Brief #1 - Winners

The Brief. Diversity, networking & creativity in action.

We partnered with The World Woman Foundation - a non-profit organisation that aims to empower women on a global scale. In 2022 they will rebrand and relaunch a Young Female Entrepreneurs Program to register 500 young females.

The challenge to LIONS Members was to create a clear, concise and eye-catching campaign in only 3 weeks, before presenting to an international jury. Here are the results.

The Judging Panel

All submissions to The Brief were reviewed and scored by the jury, using the Official Cannes Lions Judging System. A shortlist of five was selected who then presented live via Zoom.
