Leo Australia and Suncorp have won the Titanium Grand Prix at the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for their climate resilience platform, Haven.
The win marks one of the highest honours in global advertising and comes as Leo Australia was also named Regional Network of the Year for the Pacific.
Haven is a digital tool designed to help Australian homeowners understand their property’s vulnerability to extreme weather and identify ways to improve resilience.
Built using Suncorp’s proprietary data, the platform combines 12 datasets and API integrations to create personalised property assessments, resilience reports and recommendations for preventative action.
The Titanium Grand Prix adds to the project’s growing list of international awards, including two Silver Lions and a Bronze Lion at this year’s festival.

Recognition for long-term resilience strategy
Suncorp chief marketing officer and executive general manager brand and customer experience, Mim Haysom, said the award recognised years of work focused on resilience.
“We are so thrilled to have our resilience work for Suncorp globally recognised with a Titanium. It’s been a long-term commitment for us with this work, taking our focus on resilience from an idea into an action that all Australians can benefit from.
“It took incredible teamwork to bring Haven to life, so a huge thanks and congratulations to our amazing collective team; this award is theirs.”
Leo Australia chief creative officer Andy Fergusson said the project had been years in development.
“It is truly humbling to have our work recognised in this way, and hard to put into words how proud I am of the team. This project was two years in the making and many more years in preparation. Everyone involved in Haven worked tirelessly to create something unique, which we believed could change behaviour.”
He added: “Congratulations to our talented creatives, business leads, producers and tech team at Leo. Our genius, unrelenting production partners at Unit 9, our media partners, and our incredible clients at Suncorp, who had belief in this idea from the beginning and did whatever it took to make Haven a reality, no matter what challenges it faced.”
Leo Australia recognised across the region
The Cannes result also contributed to Leo Australia being named Regional Network of the Year for the Pacific.
Marco Venturelli, president and chief creative officer at Leo, chief creative officer at Publicis Groupe France and CEO and chief creative officer at Publicis Conseil, said the recognition reflected both creative ambition and client partnership.
“We’re incredibly proud of Leo Australia, part of the Leo Constellation, for their tremendous success in the last two years, culminating in such strong wins in Cannes. This is a testament to their ability to deliver great work for the Australian market and to the impact achieved through a strong client partnership.
“Marrying human insight and real innovation is at the heart of our vision. And for Leo Constellation, winning the top award of the festival two years in a row – it’s a reason to believe in it more than ever.”
Building on previous Cannes success
Haven forms part of Suncorp’s broader resilience platform, Building a More Resilient Australia, which has been developed over several years.
The initiative follows One House, which won the Grand Prix for Innovation at Cannes Lions in 2022, as well as Resilience Road. The broader platform also collected a Silver Lion in Creative Business Transformation in 2025.
The Dan Wieden Titanium Lions recognise work that challenges convention and redefines the role of creativity.
