The Integrated Lions, formerly part of the 'Titanium and Integrated' Lions, celebrate creative campaigns. Entries needed to demonstrate holistic excellence through work that has been executed across multiple media, incorporating an idea into diverse environments that further enrich it.

A total of 11 Integrated Lions were awarded from the shortlist of 26.

The Integrated Lions Grand Prix went to 'Boost Your Voice', 180LA Santa Monica's product promoting Boost Mobile's stores as polling stations, with The Corner Shop Santa Monica, Therapy Studios LA and Atomica Music Texas assisting on production. The campaign stood out for the clever way it solved the problem of low-income and minority votes in the US having longer lines and fewer places to vote than those in more affluent areas by striving for equal voting access by turning Boost Mobile stores into polling places:

The campaign also look top honours with the Grand Prix in the the Promo & Activations category.

Two of the Integrated Lions awarded on the night were Gold Lions. The first of these was awarded to OMD UK, 4Creative and Channel 4 London for Channel 4 Paralympics' We're the Superheroes'. Created to broadcast the broadcaster's then-upcoming coverage of the Paralympic Games in Rio, it's a three-minute musical that's a joy to watch, featuring more than 140 disabled people doing more than just play sport. Crash helmets, carbon fibre legs and prosthetic arms all play a part:

Colenso BBDO Auckland also took home an Integrated Gold Lion for the Mars NZ Pedigree 'Child Replacement Programme', with production by Exit Films, Creature and Franklin RD Auckland as well as media by Starcom NZ and PR by Impact PR New Zealand. It worked on the simple premise of finding dogs that need homes, homes that need dogs as they're empty-nesters, and creating a suitable match.
