The fact that the Advertising Crème de la Crème award goes to a piece of work that picked up the Grand Prix at Cannes speaks volumes about the quality of the entries.”

WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell said: “In the world of marketing communications we turn knowledge into ideas, insights and objects that have a material, quantifiable value to our clients. Only the human mind can perform this extraordinary alchemy; and only certain kinds of mind, at that. WPPED Cream is a celebration of those minds and the pearls they produce – many congratulations to all the winners.”
