The agency received 15 total honors for its work, including one Silver Lion each for its “ 867-5309” and “ Infinite Saree” campaigns.
Article content
Klick created “867-5309” for Cancer Support Community’s and Gilda’s Club’s by turning a pop culture earworm into a lifeline for cancer support. The number, made famous by Tommy Tutone’s classic tune, pairs with area code 272 (or CSC) to connect callers to the organization’s free national Helpline. Activated across radio, streaming, PR, and social, the campaign generated billions of earned media impressions and increased Helpline calls by 216 percent in just one week. The campaign was supported by Marina Maher Communications, Sonic Union, and Cory Dross/Farpoint Media.

Silver-Lion-winning “Infinite Saree” was created for women’s safety and gender equality nonprofit Red Dot Foundation. It transforms India’s most iconic symbol of womanhood into a four-kilometer living petition calling for the removal of the Marital Rape Exception in India’s Penal Code. The campaign was produced in collaboration with INVNT, MediaMedic, TA2, and LightFarm.
