The work included an online film and posters treated with Life Paint that reveal their message when hit by a camera’s flash.
AKQA London and its sister Shanghai office won the gold Lion in the same category for its "house of mamba" work for Nike Basketball China.
Grey London and AKQA were the two winning UK agencies out of a total of nine that were shortlisted for the Promotion and Activation category.
