ICF Mostra, an ICF International company, was recently honored with one Gold Dolphin and four Silver Dolphin awards at the 5th Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards Gala in Cannes, France. The awards were presented to Brussels-based ICF Mostra for its work with several European clients.
The Gold Dolphin, which was awarded in the Corporate Films and Videos category, went to The Awakeners, a film-trailer style video produced for the European Commission-Directorate General for the Environment and designed to raise awareness of the importance of better waste management and the value of “rubbish.” The Awakeners, part of a new phase of the Generation Awake campaign, has generated 5.3 million views. The four Silver Dolphins were awarded to ICF Mostra for projects also developed for European Commission clients. Three of the awards were won in the Corporate Films and Videos category. The fourth was awarded in the Online Media category.
Each year, the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards honor the world’s finest corporate films, online media and TV documentaries by awarding Gold, Silver and Black Dolphin trophies. It is the only festival for corporate films taking place in Cannes, the city famously known for feature films and advertising productions. In 2014, the international competition received 725 submissions representing 34 countries. Only 141 submissions received awards.
“These awards are very important for ICF Mostra. Not only do they recognize the high quality and creativity of our work, but also our ability to distill complex policy content into hard-hitting, award-winning videos that inform and inspire our clients’ audiences,” said Patrick Vastenaekels, managing director for ICF Mostra.
“We are very proud of the industry-leading honors achieved by ICF Mostra, our February 2014 acquisition,” said Jeanne Townend, ICF International executive vice president and group lead for Europe and Asia. “ICF’s strategic communications are setting a very high industry standard in terms of creativity, quality and impact and now include ICF Mostra’s pan-European public communication campaigns.”
