This year, CC:DC launched the AYA Inclusion Awards: a newly rebranded recognition celebrating the power of creativity to reshape the world through the advertising, marketing and communications industries. The AYA is an adinkra symbol for endurance, independence, defiance against difficulties, hardiness, perseverance and resourcefulness. It demonstrates why inclusion is good for the world and good for business, underscoring the idea that you must include the world to have world-bending ideas. The AYA Inclusion Awards celebrate culture-shifting creativity across the areas of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, disability, neuro, age and body diversity. In the spirit of equity, all entries are free. The award winners were honored in Cannes on Monday, June 19 at Inkwell Beach. Please join us in congratulating our winners once again!
