Taking home two Grand Clios for Film Craft – Animation and Design Craft – Animation, ‘ 18 Months’ continues to shine after recently being honored with 29 award wins during Creative Week.

Receiving the inaugural Women’s Health Grand Clio, along with seven Gold, four Silver, and two Bronze Clios, ‘ Infinite Saree‘ transforms India’s most iconic symbol of womanhood into a collective demand for justice. Created for women’s safety and gender equality nonprofit Red Dot Foundation, the campaign draws attention to the Marital Rape Exception in India’s Penal Code, which leaves millions of married women without legal protection from sexual violence. Stretching four kilometers, the world’s longest saree is a living petition, embroidered with signatures calling for the law’s removal. Produced in collaboration with INVNT, MediaMedic, and LightFarm, the campaign mobilized public support for ending this legal exception.

Created for the non-profit Melanoma Fund UK, ‘ Peak Exposure‘ confronts the persistent myth that UV damage is a summer-only risk, revealing that altitude, snow reflection, and cold temperatures can make winter environments among the most dangerous for skin exposure. The poster-led campaign, which Ad Age called “striking,” and which took home six Gold Clios, worked as a two-stage visual reveal: from a distance, a breathtaking winter landscape; up close, the unmistakable mark of melanoma. Real survivors, including pro skier Caroline Gleich, mountaineering instructor Guy Jarvis, and outdoor enthusiast Willie Munro were cast and photographed using macro techniques, with CGI used to map each lesion into mountain topography.

Crash Patch,’ piloted with The Snow League, the world’s first professional sports league dedicated to snowboarding and freeskiing, makes invisible risk visible for action sports athletes, who too often push through uncertainty after a head impact. Awarded three Gold, two Silver, and two Bronze Clios, Crash Patch was designed as a featherweight, weather-resistant helmet decal. The indicator helps snowboarders and skiers decide, right after impact, whether to continue riding or seek medical attention. Thousands of decals were distributed throughout Aspen Snowmass, with athletes wearing them in real-world conditions at competitions, lift lines, and fan zones.

It has helped aspiring parents navigate their own fertility journey by driving more than 45,000 reproductive endocrinologist visits, 4,200-plus fertility coaching sign-ups, and over 7,000 new patient treatment starts.
