Ogilvy, We Believers, FCB New York and Smuggler win top honors at Clio Awards

Grupo Estratégico PAE’s “Morning After Island” by Ogilvy and Corona’s “Plastic Fishing Tournament” from We Believers took top honors at the 2023 Clio Awards on Tuesday night, picking up three Grand Clios each. See all of Ad Age's 2023 Creativity Award winners here “Morning After Island,” in which Ogilvy ferried women offshore from Honduras so they could take the morning after pill legally, won in Direct, Out-of-Home and Public Relations. “Plastic Fishing Tournament,” which paid anglers in Mexico to catch plastic waste instead of fish, was honored in Direct, Experience/Activation and Public Relations. (Clio changed its rules this year to allow for multiple Grand winners in each category, based on entry type—public service, business-to-business and product/service campaigns were all eligible to win Grands in the same category.) The other campaign that earned multiple Grand Clios was Michelob Ultra’s “McEnroe vs. McEnroe” by FCB New York, which featured a tennis match between modern-day John McEnroe and tech-built versions of himself from the past. The work won two Grands—in Branded Entertainment & Content and Creative Use of Data. On the strength of those campaigns, Corona was named Advertiser of the Year; FCB New York was Agency of the Year; We Believers was Independent Agency of the Year; and Ogilvy was honored as Network of the Year. Smuggler was named Production Company of the Year.
