Ogilvy Takes Home Cannes Lions Network of the Year for 2026

To round out the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, WPP’s Ogilvy won Network of the Year, with a fellow WPP agency, VML, earning the No. 2 spot.
This award helped lift WPP to become the most awarded group at the festival for the second time in a row, tallying 140 Lions—a Titanium, 7 Grand Prix, 29 Gold, 40 Silver, and 63 Bronze. Ogilvy reclaimed the top honor after winning in 2024.
In 2025, the festival awarded the Network of the Year to the now-defunct DDB Worldwide, which today has been absorbed into Omnicom’s TBWA.
For Ogilvy alone, the agency won 81 Lions, including 3 Grand Prix, 13 Gold, 22 Silver, and 43 Bronze.
