David Droga

Droga is one of the most awarded creatives in the business. According to Cannes, he has won more than 70 Gold and 15 Grand Prix/Titanium Lions throughout his career. He won his first Lion at the age of 19.

“I have worked with more talented people and had more opportunities than one creative person deserves,” said Droga in a statement. “The Lion of St. Mark honour is beyond my wildest ambitions. It’s incredible to be recognised with this, when you still feel you have so much more to do and prove. But I will soak it up with pride and humility.”

He will be presented with the Lion of St. Mark during the Festival awards ceremony on June 24.

Droga founded Droga5 in 2006 after serving as the first-ever worldwide chief creative officer of the Publicis Network in New York. Last year, Droga5 was named Cannes Lions’ Independent Agency of the Year for the second year in a row.
