En esta edición Ecuador participó con un total de 36 entradas de las cuales 11 pasaron a la lista corta de la categoría Directo. En la noche de premiación, los representantes de la agencia Maruri Grey de Guayaquil subieron al escenario 7 veces para recibir un León de Oro por la pieza «Viaje a Ciegas» desarrollada para los Ministerios de Turismo y Transporte del Ecuador; y 6 Bronces por ACH2O para Panasonic (3), Viaje a Ciegas para los Ministerios de Turismo y Transporte del Ecuador (2), y Liver Songs para Natures Garden.
Una participación de Ecuador nunca antes vista pues el anterior año por ejemplo, nuestro país solo logró conseguir un galardón en esta categoría. Destaca la participación de la agencia Maruri Grey pues fue la única de Ecuador en lograr metales en esta categoría. Además, el León de Oro lo logró con una campaña bastante controversial debido al planteamiento de la misma y al uso de la imagen de otro país para promocionar el nuestro, detalle que ocasionó problemas diplomáticos con el mismo.
La categoría premió aun total de 83 entradas con 1 Grand Prix, 20 Leones de Oro, 24 de Plata y 38 de Bronce. Además de los 7 Leones de Ecuador, Brasil se llevó 3 metales (1 Oro, 2 Bronces) y Colombia 2 (1 Plata, 1 Bronce). A continuación la lista de ganadores:
