"TV is clearly one of the group's key strengths with four of the seven wins coming from this category, but more importantly, the majority of the awarded work comes from some of the agency's biggest clients," chairman and chief creative officer of the Leo Group, Richard Irvine, said.

In addition to Print Ad of the Year in 2005 and Radio Campaign of the Year in 2005 and 2006, this marks a record breaking fourth time in eight years that Leo Burnett has won the prestigious TV Ad of the Year at this show.
