Leo Burnett Sydney nabbed Media Agency of the Year yesterday at Cannes, which is now mercifully at its midway point. The MAOY prize–which was decided on by a jury led by Starcom MediaVest global chief exec Laura Desmond–was just one of six earned by the Aussie branch including the Media Lions Grand Prix for its Canon EOS SLR “Photochains” effort that launched in May 2009.
