Accolades in Film, Film Craft, and Health & Wellness add to health agency’s momentum following historic Agency of the Year wins at The One Show, New York Festival Awards, and Clio Health
CANNES, France & TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#KlickHealth—Klick Health continued its hot streak amidst sweltering temperatures at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity last week, taking home four trophies for creative excellence in Film, Film Craft, and Health & Wellness. These latest honors raise the total of 2025 top-tier creative awards to 141 for the agency, which last month made history by becoming the first health agency to ever be ranked an ‘Agency of the Year’ by both The One Show and New York Festivals Advertising Awards. Lisbon Ad Health also recently named Klick ‘Independent Agency of the Year’ as did Clio Health for the third straight year.
“We are thrilled to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s leading consumer agencies as health campaigns increasingly win in non-health shows and categories,” said Klick Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “This is a historic, inclusive milestone in the advertising community, acknowledging that great work is great work, regardless of the sector it was created for.”
Agency CEO Lori Grant said, “Our team is relentlessly focused on hacking the boundaries of health on behalf of all our clients and the patients and healthcare professionals they serve. We are extremely proud to enable the kind of health outcomes that save lives.”
Klick won a Silver Film Lion for ‘LOVE CAPTURED,’ the dual-screen short it created for The Exodus Road to help people spot the hidden signs of human trafficking. The story centers on a romantic weekend escape, only to reveal a sinister portrayal of manipulation and control through synchronized hidden-camera footage. Campaign US described the film as “gripping,” with “a spectacular twist that will leave viewers breathless.” Klick collaborated on the unique, experiential film with director Thatiane Almeida (MAGMA) and audio house Jamute.
‘18 MONTHS,’ the Second Nurture animated short, which Ad Age called “gorgeously crafted” and “amazingly beautiful to watch,” earned two Bronze Lions (Film and Film Craft categories). The film was inspired by the true story of Danny Stewart and Pete Mercurio, who adopted the baby Danny found abandoned in a New York City subway station. Created in partnership with Zombie Studio and Jamute, it illustrates that there is no wrong way to build a family.
Klick also received a Bronze Health & Wellness Lion for All* In Action Fund’s ‘THE TRIAL.’ Called a “chilling throwback” by MediaPost, the short film draws direct parallels between 17th-century Salem witch hunts and recent political attacks on women’s rights with a script composed of modern-day quotes from anti-abortion politicians and reproductive justice advocates. It was directed by Gandja Monteiro (Wednesday, Agatha All Along) and produced in collaboration with Taking Over and Golden Hum.
