AMA Psalmist Visuals (APV) is proud to announce its role as Production House on Vaseline & The Real Nigerian Prince, a campaign that earned five Cannes Lions at the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, widely regarded as the highest honour in global advertising and creative communications.
The campaign received: Gold Lion – Social & Creator Lions (Creator Collaboration). Bronze Lion – Social & Creator Lions Bronze Lion – Brand Experience & Activation Lions. Bronze Lion – Media Lions Bronze Lion – Health & Wellness Lions

The Gold-winning Social & Creator Lions category attracted 1,413 entries from around the world, with only 44 Lions awarded, including just 8 Gold Lions globally.

Earlier in the year, the campaign also received multiple honours at the 2026 New York Festivals Advertising Awards, including Gold, Silver and Bronze recognition.

Inspired by one of the internet’s most enduring stereotypes, Vaseline & The Real Nigerian Prince transformed a familiar cultural reference into a creative public education initiative, helping consumers identify genuine Vaseline products through a culturally relevant and highly engaging campaign.
The work brought together teams across Singapore, Nigeria and the United Kingdom and was recognised by Cannes Lions juries for its creativity, effectiveness and innovative creator collaboration.
