Clio Health Names Klick Health ‘Independent Agency of the Year’ for Third Consecutive Year

Agency also wins 25 Clios after receiving three prestigious D&AD Awards and making history at The One Show in May

Klick Health was celebrated by the Clio Health Awards last night as ‘Independent Agency of the Year’ for the third straight year. Klick also took home 25 trophies for its work, including five Gold, nine Silver, and 11 Bronze, and Executive Creative Director Jillian Baum was honored as a 2025 Clio Health Champion. Today’s news comes on the heels of Klick taking home three D&AD Awards and making history as the first health agency ever to be named an Agency of the Year by The One Show.

“We are humbled to receive this three-peat Independent Agency of the Year and so many Clio Health Awards,” said Klick Health Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “We are also grateful to see our work continuing to be recognized by the world’s leading creative and advertising juries, and credit our team with always thinking outside of the box to create purpose-driven campaigns that impact people’s lives for the better.”

“Klick Health continues to raise the bar with creative that not only captures attention but genuinely moves people,” said Emily Seal, Executive Director, Clio Health. “Their winning work this year, from the emotional resonance of Love Captured and Forget Everything, to the cultural ingenuity of The Trial, reflects a deep commitment to storytelling that drives meaningful impact.”

Award-winning campaigns

'The Trial' explores the haunting reality of abortion bans by drawing chilling parallels between the 17th-century Salem witch hunts and today’s political attacks on reproductive rights. Created for All* In Action Fund, and produced in collaboration with Taking Over and Golden Hum, the short film was awarded one Gold, seven Silver, and six Bronze Clios.

The experiential, dual-screen short film 'Love Captured' helps people spot the hidden signs of human trafficking. Told in parallel narratives, the film seems to center on a romantic escape, only to reveal synchronized hidden-camera footage and a chilling portrayal of manipulation and control. Klick partnered with Magma and Jamute on the campaign for global anti-trafficking organization The Exodus Road, which won two Gold, one Silver, and two Bronze Clios.

'The Steamboat Willie Story' puts the spotlight on the world's most famous 96-year-old (and recently retired) spokesmouse to help Brazilian non-profit Retiro dos Artistas retirement home and their retired actor and artist residents. Klick partnered with Lightfarm Studios and Jamute on the film, which was lauded with two Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze Clio.

For Dementia South Africa, Klick created 'Forget Everything,' an out-of-home campaign that challenges the common assumption that dementia only affects the elderly. The powerful poster series, shot by renowned photographer Ale Burset, brings more visibility to young onset dementia and took home two Bronze Clios.
