“It’s official. Klick Health is not to be ignored,” reported Canada’s strategy magazine.

According to Klick Health Co-Founder and Chairman Leerom Segal, “It’s amazing to see how quickly applying our hacker roots to our creative process has accelerated our team’s creativity, and the impact we deliver to our clients and the patients and physicians they serve. We’re just getting started and can’t wait to show the world what’s next.”

Klick was awarded a Gold Lion in the Design – Book category for The Congregation, the powerful initiative it created for podHER. It is designed to bring together like-minded individuals – regardless of their religious faith – who want to help protect reproductive freedom after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The captivating, hardcover book of beliefs is printed on indestructible paper (representing the durability and timelessness of its core tenets), with pages that can be used as protest posters and a scannable map of locations where safe, legal abortions can be accessed.

“The Bridge,” Klick’s short for PAWS NY, took home both a Silver Lion in Digital Craft for Animation, and a Bronze Lion in Health & Wellness for Animation. With its innovative animation style and beautiful love story highlighting the mental health benefits of pets, “The Bridge” has won the hearts of advertising and film festival jurors around the world. This latest honor adds to its long list of 2023 accolades, which includes four D&AD Pencils, two Gold Clios, the Clio Health Grand and three Golds, the New York Festivals Health Grand Tower and two Golds, five ADC Gold Cubes, four Gold The One Show Pencils.

Lifesaving Radio, created for NextMed Health, was awarded a Bronze Pharma Lion. As the world’s first AI-powered healthcare radio station, clinically designed to improve surgical accuracy and efficiency, Lifesaving Radio has been a fan-favorite since its recent March 2023 launch, also winning the Clio Health Grand in Radio, along with two Golds.

Elevating the role of health and wellness

"These Lions roar with proof that health work is mainstream work, and we are incredibly proud to help elevate the role health and wellness plays in the world,” said Klick Health Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. "We’re grateful to our team of talented Klicksters who have made it their mission to create meaningful campaigns to help people live healthier lives."
