All brands are looking to make a positive impact on health, and Clio is leading this charge through the standards they are setting for the industry. It is the only festival where creativity and creativity alone drives trophies, where its leaders listen closely to our industry leaders and adapt to stay relevant…A Clio trophy stands for an unparalleled commitment to creativity that inspires talent, raises ROI for our clients and ultimately helps us drive life saving change.

Clio Health is for us one of the most important awards in the sector because it rewards ideas that improve people's lives. Winning a Grand Clio has been a huge recognition for us - for the team, for the brand and for the agency network, since it is a certification that creative work that goes beyond advertising and merges with technology can become a role model for the Industry.

My very first big international award was a Clio…In that moment I didn’t realize what that Clio would really mean in the future, but looking back I can see clearly it really set a before and after in our agency…It really helped us to start building a creative name in the industry…It showed me that it doesn’t matter if you are a small agency, in a small market or with tiny budgets, if you are eager to do work that people love, that changes the codes of your industry and with it, the lives of many people.

The Clios has always been an organization I’ve admired and look to for inspiration. (I can’t start my day without Muse by Clio!) In addition to inspiration, it’s an industry name that holds a lot of equity–with clients and Creatives alike. Winning a Clio builds clients’ careers. For Creatives, a Clio win is certainly a career builder. But in addition, the pursuit of a Clio fosters healthy competition that makes each of us better at what we do. We’re all looking to create the Clio-recognized work that’s pushing boundaries and elevating our industry overall.
