Last night at the DDB China Group office in Shanghai, there was late night excitement as Jody Xiong and his team learned the results.

"It was once only a dream for me, but last night it came true," said chief creative officer Michael Dee.

"We're all incredibly proud of our team," said DDB China Group president and CEO Dick van Motman. "We always knew their work was world class, so its very rewarding to receive this recognition from the Lions jury members who represent the cutting edge in global communications."

The 'Green pedestrian crossing' campaign also won a silver award at this year's Clio awards in the Poster category.
