Union Editorial congratulates Los Angeles-based Partner/Editor Marco Perez, whose editing work on Le Pub Milan and Heineken’s The Pub That Refused to Die helped the film win the Grand Prix of the Festival at Cannes Lions 2026.

The campaign documented the story of 26 ordinary people in Killeely, Ireland, who bought their local pub without any prior pint-pulling experience to save it from ruin. It serves as a practical guide for rural communities facing similar challenges.
