Trash Isles for Plastic Oceans/LADbible by AMV BBDO (Grand Prix, Gold Lion)
LADbible and the Plastic Oceans Foundation set out to turn a country-sized area of plastic trash in the Pacific Ocean into an actual country, so the world can no longer turn a blind eye to the problem. For this campaign, they approached the United Nations to make this a reality.

Price on our Lives for March for our Lives – Parkland Students by McCann (One Gold, one Silver)
The March for our Lives movement created price tags of $1.05 to highlight the amount of money each student in Florida is worth to the state’s Republican Senator Marco Rubio. To get that number, organizers took the amount of money Rubio has reportedly received from the NRA and divided it by the 3,140,167 students enrolled in the state of Florida. People who participated in the March 24 demonstration in support of tighter gun control were encouraged to wear the price tags.
