I mean, it probably will help someone get a visa or a new job.

But also, that’s a Glass Lion. Glass is a category specifically for work that “does good.” Could it be BS? Maybe. But I’m not sure who these people are and what actual work that specific Lion in the pic was awarded for so can’t comment.

That’s a glass lion. It’s a category with do-good campaigns that’s heavily focused on long-term impact.

Which one of the Glass lion winners do you think didn’t have real impact, OP?

Let’s have an actually profound discussion about it.

What agency? I know mrm just placed with a campaign where they recognized the donor process in a particular country was problematic - jumping through hoops, paper cards, etc and caused people to not participate. Knowing that the one card people have on them everyday is their bank card, they worked with (I think) Amex and turned every card into an official donor registration card. That idea and activation is life changing and is saving lives.

Glass winners are judged on long-term impact. These campaign do in fact impact lives. Would love to know which Glass winners OP has a problem with.
