NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leo Burnett Business today announced that Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago selected the specialty group within Leo Burnett as creative agency of record. The New York-based agency will develop, design and produce a new strategic and creative campaign that will increase brand awareness of Lurie Children's as a top ranked leader in children's health care. The first campaign will be digitally led and executed across multiple platforms, from TV and print to out-of-home and social in 2016.

"Lurie Children's was truly looking for a partner to add strategic and creative value to our marketing team and current agency partners," said Kary McIlwain, vice president of marketing at Lurie Children's.
