Every Mother Counts: Cannes Young Lions Bronze Lion Winner

Copywriter: Ian Hill

Designer: Nina Golik, Kyle Watson

Bronze Lion award winner for the 2015 Cannes Young Lions Print competition.

This year Cannes Young Lions presented the print teams with a brief with a larger purpose: present one single print piece that will help illuminate the plight of mothers across the globe. Our research revealed that the #1 issue contributing to 289,000 maternal deaths each year was complications with, and lack of, transportation. We found a simple solution: use the most recognizable image of motherhood--the baby bump-- to illuminate the massive bumps in the road these women must overcome simply to become mothers.

"The biggest bump on the road to motherhood shouldn't be the way there."

 

While we received a Bronze award, Cannes' sponsor, USA Today, enjoyed the ad enough to give us a special shout-out.
