PHD has received 23 shortlists at the 2026 Festival of Media Global Awards across 10 markets, including Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the UK.
Shortlisted clients and brands include 7-Eleven, Diageo, Fundavida, HP, KFC, Kleenex, Knorr, Le Lait, Mobily, Nosotras, Steinlager, Tangerine, Tourism Montréal, and Volkswagen.
Among PHD finalists are the agency’s two most-nominated campaigns, which each secured three shortlist placements at this year’s competition: ‘The Pestacle’ for Le Lait in Canada and ‘Kleenex x Mr. Doodle’ for Kimberly-Clark in the UK.
Touché!’s campaign with Le Lait is a brilliant example of media, creativity and partnerships coming together to reimagine a seasonal tradition and turn a typical advertising moment into an entertainment-first viewing experience for families around the holidays.
By partnering with Mr Doodle, PHD UK helped Kleenex transform a special-edition pack launch into a live shoppable experience at Outernet London.
These shortlisted campaigns reflect PHD’s commitment to driving cultural impact and business growth, and we’re proud to share these recognitions with our clients, teams, and partners around the world.

Winners will be announced on Thursday, June 11, 2026.
