Dubai, UAE – 27th October 2025 – FP7McCann has been named the #1 Agency in the UAE and the Highest-Ranked Network Agency in MENA by the Cannes Lions Global Creativity Report 2025. These accolades reaffirm the agency’s position as a regional powerhouse, built on creative consistency, measurable business impact, and enduring partnerships with global and regional brands.
Earlier this year, at the 72nd edition of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, FP7McCann made history – securing 7 Lions across major categories and emerging as the most awarded agency in MENA. These wins were powered by long-standing client relationships, with standout work for Arla Foods, McDonald’s, Waterstones UK, and the Testicular Cancer Society.
From Sustainable Development Goals to Brand Experience & Activation, PR, Film, Outdoor, and Digital Craft, the award campaigns demonstrated FP7McCann’s ability to craft ideas rooted in local insight and global relevance. The agency also contributed to McCann Worldgroup’s boundary-pushing global wins, including a prestigious Titanium shortlist and cross-border collaborations with McCann Poland and MRM Germany.
“These Cannes rankings are a testament to our agency’s dedication and passion for creativity. Guided by ‘Truth Well Told,’ we’re creating bold ideas that shift advertising into entertainment and culture that resonate with people. Thanks to our team, partners, and sister agencies for their collaboration and creative courage.” – Federico Fanti, Regional Chief Creative Officer, FP7McCann MENAT
“This win isn’t just for us as an agency or its leaders. It’s for every creative, account, operations, finance, and production hero who stayed late, left a half-eaten lunch, fought hard, and believed even when doubt crept in. And for every client and MCN partner who keeps choosing great over ordinary. Our job is to bring ideas but they’re the ones who say, ‘Let’s do it.’ You’re all the true co-authors of this #1 spot.”– Nayaab Rais, Executive Creative Director, FP7McCann Dubai
The agency’s success reflects a long-term strategic vision rooted in collaboration, talent investment, and creative integration. With support from MCN’s wider networks including Craft, UM, Weber Shandwick, Current Global MENAT, and MRM MENAT – FP7McCann continues to evolve as a borderless, platform-agnostic partner for brands seeking relevance across MENAT and resonance across the world.
With a creative footprint spanning the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon and beyond, FP7McCann remains the agency of record for brands looking to grow with purpose in a rapidly evolving region, and to build ideas that move people, shift culture, and deliver results.
