LOS
ANGELES, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- ADCOLOR, the premier organization dedicated to
celebrating and promoting diversity in the creative industries,
today announced the nominees and honorees of its 18th
Annual ADCOLOR Awards. The in-person awards show is set to take
place on Saturday, November 16, 2024,
at the JW Marriott LA Live in Los
Angeles, CA, and is the culmination of the organization's
ADCOLOR 2024 event.
Each year, ADCOLOR accepts submissions for its competitive award
categories, which include ADCOLOR Influencer, Campaign of the Year,
Rising Star, and more. Nominees are selected by more than 60
elected judges representing a diverse range of industries, titles,
levels and backgrounds. This year's nominees include brands and
executives from Google, Ad Council, ESPN, Microsoft and more.
In addition, honorees of its non-competitive categories are
chosen by ADCOLOR's highly esteemed Board of Directors and
respective partners. This year's recipients range from industry
titans such as Taco Bell CEO Sean
Tresvant to influential organizations such as 88rising, the
pioneering and internationally-renowned music and media company
amplifying Asian talent and culture.
The full list of 2024 ADCOLOR Nominees and Honorees can be
found below.
The theme for ADCOLOR 2024 is "Off Mute," urging everyone to
take action in the fight to protect DEI. As the opposition to
racial equity intensifies, ADCOLOR is seeking to tune out the
detractors and amplify the efforts of those committed to
equity.
"I couldn't be more excited about this year's ADCOLOR Awards
nominees and honorees. They have each taken our 'Off Mute' theme to
heart over the course of the past year, courageously championing
diversity, equity and inclusion through their work," said
Tiffany R. Warren, Founder and
President, ADCOLOR. "Their impactful efforts have shattered
barriers and created new pathways for change, and I am honored to
celebrate their contributions in November."
Since 2007, the ADCOLOR Awards have highlighted and honored the
achievements of diverse communities in the creative industries. The
awards recognize those who go above and beyond to make a difference
and who embody the organization's mission of "Rise Up, Reach
Back."
Registration for ADCOLOR 2024, including the ADCOLOR Conference
and the 18th Annual ADCOLOR Awards, is now open. Please
visit the ADCOLOR 2024 registration site to buy tickets.
ADCOLOR will also unveil the 2024 class of ADCOLOR FUTURES and
