"We're so honored to be recognized for our work,” said Klick Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “Awards like these are only possible when an entire agency is committed to creating a body of work that changes lives; delivers real-world results; and meets the highest standards of strategic, medical, and creative excellence.

Agency CEO Lori Grant said, "We are extremely proud to be named Cannes Lions’ 2026 ‘Healthcare Agency of the Year’ and ‘Healthcare Network of the Year.’ These honors reflect so many talented Klicksters from around the world and the trust our clients place in us every day. We’re privileged to partner with organizations that push us to think bigger and create meaningful impact.”

Klick also won a Health & Wellness Lion for ‘Infinite Saree,’ which transforms India's most iconic symbol of womanhood into a collective demand for justice. Created for women's safety and gender equality nonprofit Red Dot Foundation, the campaign draws attention to the Marital Rape Exception in India's Penal Code, which leaves millions of married women without legal protection from sexual violence. Stretching four kilometers, the ‘Infinite Saree’ – the world's longest – is also a living petition, embroidered with signatures calling for the law's removal. Produced in collaboration with INVNT, MediaMedic, TA2, and LightFarm; the campaign continues to mobilize public support for ending this legal exception.
