"To win two prestigious Titanium Lions for two blue-chip marketers like Samsung and P&G is a remarkable achievement, and testament to the caliber of work we're bringing to clients around the world. I couldn't be prouder."

"Our top campaigns including '#LikeAGirl,' 'Intimate Words' and 'Safety Truck' not only created value for our clients, but inspired real change and conversation within society, which is something few campaigns can say," Tutssel added. "The history that Mexico and Argentina made with their respective wins is remarkable, and these groundbreaking wins will only keep coming."
