The 2012 Global Awards Grand Jury also awarded one coveted Grand Global Award to Ogilvy, Germany, and honored Langland, UK with the 2012 Global Healthcare Agency of the Year for the second year in a row; with the agency taking home 3 Global Awards and 14 Finalist Certificates.

The Global Awards New York celebration took place on December 6 at the Helen Mills Event Space & Theater, located at 137 West 26th Street.  The evening kicked off with a celebratory cocktail reception and a print and video showcase of the 2012 award-winning work. 2012 Global Awards were presented by Michael Demetriades, Global Awards Executive Director, and Tom Domanico, Global Awards Advisory Board Chairman & Draft FCB Healthcare Chairman Emeritus and other prominent Grand Jury members.

For the first time in the history of the Global Awards, the competition honored a network for its exemplary work with the title of Network of the Year. McCann Health took the lead in this year's competition, taking home 5 Global Awards and 19 Finalist Certificates.  The McCann Health offices honored include: McCann Health Australia, 2 Global Awards; McCann Health Communications/McCann Worldgroup Japan, McCann Health United Kingdom, and McCann HumanCare USA each received one Global Award. McCann Health Chairman John Cahill, and Global Creative Director Jeremy Perrott accepted the award on behalf of the network.

“Winning "international network" is an amazing achievement in any industry. But to win this award from the Global Awards is a significant win that recognises more than hard work.  In the most difficult discipline of all to be creative and innovative, this Global Award celebrates the diligence of a network committed to raising the bar of its industry's product and at the same time celebrate the clients who not only demand we do this, but support and encourage us to deliver.

The Globals has also committed to being the premier award show in healthcare that sets standards, through industry leaders as judges and navigators as well as critics who know good from great and brilliant from best. Through the Globals, we are now seeing outstanding work across the board globally, not only in the conventional media but in new media, digital, viral integrated and interactive. This is what great shows do. Celebrate, recognise and encourage us all to do better.” - Jeremy Perrott

Ogilvy Germany was awarded the 2012 Grand Global Award for “Waiting. For Seven Years.” for client Foundation For Life - Organ Donation. The entry won in the Integrated (Mixed Media) Campaign category in the subcategory Communication to the Consumer: Social Commitment. This campaign demonstrated how hard it can be waiting for an organ donation by staging an extreme live-event. The event was held in a place where everybody hates waiting…at the train station. Passengers were confronted with Michael Stapf's reality, a 27 years old dialysis patient, who has been waiting for a kidney for 7 years. A digital billboard at the platform was a call for action stating “Some of us are waiting longer…For an organ donation…Help with an organ donor card.”  Creative credits include: Dr. Stephan Vogel, CCO; Tim Stübane and Birgit van den Valentyn, Creative Directors; Matthias Bauer and Johannes Jost, Art Directors; and Anke Roell, Copywriter.

“We are overwhelmed to win the prestigious Grand Global Award. But this award is not for us. This award goes to our friend and main actor Michael Stapf. He was thrilled, when he heard of it: 'Wow! I never won such an award! What is it?' Let's keep our fingers crossed that the campaign will have a long-term effect on Michael and all those who are still waiting,” Birgit van den Valentyn & Tim Stuebane

Langland Creative Director, Andrew Spurgeon commented, “What can I say? Global Agency of the Year! It's the ultimate headline, isn't it? Receiving the inaugural award last year was amazing, and in so many ways paid testament to Langland's growing reputation as the agency to watch. But scooping it for a second year just reinforces to me that what we're doing is the right thing to do. Stand out, award-winning creative that makes our clients famous.”

Philip Chin, Langland's Chief Executive had this to say, "To win 'Global Agency of the Year' for the second year running further inspires us to produce creative work of the highest standard.
