CANNES, France, June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MRM//McCann, a leading global customer relationship agency, today won its first-ever Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, adding a top industry honor in a year in which it has received increased recognition both for its digital and overall creative capabilities.
