CANNES, FRANCE — The marketing campaign that took Barack Obama, a little-known African American senator with only two years of experience in Washington, to the U.S. presidency was honored with the two top prizes—the Titanium Grand Prix and the Integrated Grand Prix—at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes on Saturday. The effort was created by a multi-agency team, including AKPD and GMMB.
  In the Film competition, a digital agency, Tribal DDB in Amsterdam, won the Grand Prix for its epic "Carousel" spot for Philips (below).
