2018 Winner

Canadian Paralympic Committee

Greatness is Rare

BBDO

SilverPublic Service - Television Campaign

To highlight the sheer awesomeness and rarity of Paralympians, the Canadian Paralympic Committee rolled out a trio of cinematic videos. More than 200,000 Canadians curl, but less than 0.001% do it in a wheelchair and win back-to-back Gold medals, the ad proclaims. Two more commercials, with equally epic music and stunning Canadian winter vistas in the background, highlight similar stats for skiing and hockey.
