London International Awards Announces 2022 Global and Regional Winners of the Year

Today, London International Awards (LIA), continuing its tradition of a total focus on creativity reveals its 2022 Global and Regional of The Year Winners.  

LIA has the highest calibre of jurors from across the globe. All rounds of judging were done onsite in Las Vegas. Our judging process has no pre-judging. Each juror sees every piece of work in their respective Categories. Each jury, along with their President, convened in their judging room to discuss and debate thoroughly before deciding on the Winners. This ensures that all work was judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions. 

Barbara Levy, president of LIA, said, “In total, 754 LIA statues and 230 finalists were awarded to 45 countries with the United States leading with 254 wins. We have Grand LIA winners from companies in countries that have never been awarded them before. In terms of Global Network of The Year, Ogilvy, as a network, has outdone itself this year. They have Grand LIAs from Ogilvy Honduras, Ogilvy India and Ogilvy Thailand. In our Health and Pharma categories, AREA 23, an IPG Company, truly dominated.
