Taking on the world from Budapest: Team Publicis took home two international awards and snatched multiple shortlists this September.
First, the Publicis Lions were honored with an Aries Award for Best Creative Idea at the Groupe’s own Constellation Awards, a global concede that highlights the best Samsung campaigns within the Groupe. We nominated our Bin of Irritation project, an immersive BTL campaign that merges creativity with craft. After winning awards in multiple local shows, the team was elated to celebrate the Bin of Irritation’s first international title as well.
The next week, we had new reasons to cheer: the Cresta shortlists were announced. The Cresta prides itself on setting the global standard for creative excellence, which is highly prestigious, and even one shortlist is an ambitious achievement. A few days later, we had the incredible honor of being awarded a bronze Cresta in the Best Digital Transformation of the Year Category for our Pain Ambassadors by Algoflex.
And last but not least: three of our campaigns were shortlisted at the Golden Drum Festival! Now, we can continue rooting for our favorite projects: the Bin of Irritation for Samsung, the Pain Ambassadors by Algoflex, and the Definition of Walking for Johnnie Walker/ Diageo!
It didn’t matter whether there were a handful of people who worked on the projects initially; in the end, it really takes a village. We celebrated these nominations as awards as one, while they belonged to many. The last leg of 2025 is shaping up to be exciting as ever – let’s see what more it has in store for us!
