"We are thrilled to be honored with these awards, especially since this campaign played such an integral role in changing the culture of how Buenos Aires residents commute," said Joaquin Mollá, co-founder and chief creative officer of the community. "We are proud to work with the City of Buenos Aires, an inspiring partner who truly understands the value and power of creative design."

"Never Stop Riding" is a print and outdoor campaign developed and executed by the Miami-based team of the community and the City of Buenos Aires to promote enhancements made to the city's public bie system. The campaign, which features whimsical illustrations and hand-drawn typefaces, depicts some of nature's constant pursuits - such as a dog chasing its tail and a squirrel clamoring for a nut - to convey the program's new 24/7 availability, expanded locations and automation system.



The community and the City of Buenos Aires received the following honors for "Never Stop Riding":

  • Gold CLIO: Print - Product/Service - Travel, Tourism Utilities
  • Gold CLIO: Print Technique - Illustration - Travel, Tourism Utilities
  • Gold CLIO: Out of Home - Product/Service - Poster - Travel, Tourism Utilities
  • Silver CLIO: Print Technique - Art Direction - Travel, Tourism Utilities
  • Bronze CLIO: Design - Posters - Travel, Transport & Tourism

The CLIO Award wins continue a winning streak for "Never Stop Riding." The campaign has been honored at every major award show in the world this year, including by Cannes International Festival of Creativity, Communication Arts Design & Advertising, Creativity International Awards, El Ojo de Iberoamerica, HOW International Design and Luerzer's ARCHIVE.


The Bronze CLIO SapientNitro earned for LYCRA's Moves You is for Film Technique - Apparel - Visual Effects. The ads, directed by Philippe André and shot by world-renowned photographer Rankin, use time-lapse video to showcase the freedom and movement of the fabric as women walk, run and dance through a typical day.

"For more than 50 years, the CLIO Awards have been recognized as one of the most prestigious and coveted honors in advertising, design, and communications," said Gaston Legorburu, worldwide chief creative officer, SapientNitro. "We are proud to receive these accolades on behalf of our work for the City of Buenos Aires and LYCRA and view them as a testament to the bold thinking and constant pursuit of excellence that drives both our clients and our people."
