The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity has named OMD Worldwide Media Network of the Year after winning one Gold, five Silver and five Bronze lions and earning 14 shortlists in the Media Lions category. 

It’s been a fruitful festival for Omnicom Media Group. In addition to OMD’s Media Network Of The Year honors, sibling agency Hearts & Science — just a year old and competing at Cannes for the first time — was the only network to earn two Golds in the Media category, while also winning a Silver.

Hearts & Science also landed on five shortlists (from just 14 entries). 

PHD turned in a solid performance as well, with multiple wins outside the Media category, including a Gold in Print and a Cyber Grand Prix (partnering with Droga5 on a MailChimp campaign).
