This is an award that I would want to win if I was a creative. I actually got a preview of the award, and it is magnificent to say the least. Hopefully, I book my ticket to Phoenix so that I can witness this award be presented. Please familiarize yourselves with the creatives below. They have been responsible for some of the best advertising creative of the past 20 years. I’ve been involved with the One Club for nearly a year, and I know Julius Dunn and Adversity are making strides to make the advertising industry more inclusive. In addition, Tiffany R. Warren has broken more ground by partnering with an industry leader in the One Club. I am glad to be involved with both organizations. Check the link at the end of the post for the full press release.
The One Club announced today that it is forming a partnership with the ADCOLOR Coalition to award the first-ever One Club/ADCOLOR Creative Award honoring a creative professional of multi-cultural background for outstanding achievements in the advertising industry. The One Club/ADCOLOR Creative Award will be presented at the 2009 ADCOLOR Awards ceremony on October 4th, at the Biltmore Resort in Phoenix, Arizona.
