Africa DDB piece for House of Lapland, Salla 2032, was awarded with two Ibero-American Grandes Soles, one in the Innovation category, and the other in Ads. This campaign using creativity and inspiration looks into the scale of global warming. Salla, which claims to be the coldest town in Finland, launched a bid to host the 2032 Summer Olympics.
