The Immortal Awards juror and M&C Saatchi UAE's partner and chief creative officer on FCB's recent Cannes Lions Media Grand Prix winner
With just a few weeks to go until this year's Immortal Awards deadline, our jurors have been taking it in turns to select the ads and campaigns that are most immortal to them, revealing the reasons why they've stayed with them until this day.

Ryan Reed, partner and chief creative officer of M&C Saatchi UAE, explains why he loves the recent Cannes Lions Media Grand Prix winner from FCB Chicago...

The deadline for this year's Immortal Awards is Friday 10th September. More information on how to enter can be found at the bottom of the article.


City of Chicago 'Boards of Change' (2020)


Immortal work rarely comes from a brief. It comes from awareness and purpose. 

This is work I revisit time and again to feel the fire of inspiration. It reminds me that we have the ability and responsibility to create and lead meaningful change. 

Part activism, part installation, this idea sees messages of unity and justice on plywood barricades repurposed into mouthpieces for disenfranchised voices and actual votes. 

I love that it’s paint on plywood, reimagined with a saw and some nails. I love that it’s a wonderfully low-fi solution to a complex issue. 

It’s work that transcends advertising and leaves a positive impact on the world.
