Suncorp’s Haven Wins Cannes Titanium Grand Prix
Suncorp, an Australian insurer, won the Dan Wieden Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes Lions 2026 for Haven, a digital platform created by Leo Australia that helps homeowners assess climate and extreme-weather risk and build resilience plans for their properties. The platform was informed by research showing 81% of Australians have experienced extreme weather while only 17% have plans to protect their homes. Jury president Chaka Sobhani (global chief creative officer of TBWA) praised the work as a business strategy focused on resilience rather than recovery. The Titanium Lions recognize work that progresses the advertising industry; 18 pieces were shortlisted from 137 entries this year. The article notes last year’s Titanium Grand Prix winner was AXA’s “Three Words” by Publicis Conseil.
Recognizes industry-leading creative work that showcases a brand (Suncorp) and agency (Leo Australia) using a digital platform to address climate resilience; relevant to creative, brand and agency strategies but not a platform or policy change that shifts the broader AdTech ecosystem.

Small Brand Actions Deliver Big Returns at Cannes
At the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity 2026, several Grand Prix-winning campaigns proved measurable business impact by changing products or making small structural interventions rather than relying on interruption advertising. Examples include AXA France adding the words “and domestic violence” to a home insurance clause (driving large traffic and new-contract uplifts), Suncorp’s two-year ‘Haven’ resilience platform (winning Titanium and driving strong policy growth), Idomed’s Nigrum Corpus (Glass: Lion for Change) tied to parent YDUQS’s record student intake, and brand activations from Heineken and Molson that generated hundreds of millions to billions of impressions and strong retail lifts. The article argues these product-focused, values-aligned moves signal a broader shift in marketing risk from underspending to relying on interruptive media buys that do not build lasting advantage.
