ADCOLOR 2007 Awards to be presented at ANA Multicultural Conference

(October 8, 2007) Honorees for the The 2007 ADCOLOR™ Awards have been announced by the AdColor Industry Coalition. The recipients will be recognized during the ANA Masters of Multicultural Marketing Conference on November 4, 2007 in Boca Raton, Florida.

ADCOLOR was established in 2005 to promote increased diversity in the advertising, marketing and media industries, as well as to inspire current and future communications professionals of color by celebrating the accomplishments of diverse role models and industry leaders. Visit www.adcolor.org for more information.

The AdColor Industry Coalition is a collaboration between The Advertising Club of New York (AD CLUB NY), the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) and Arnold Worldwide. These organizations and other companies are committed to the success of the AdColor Industry Initiative.

This first of its kind cross-industry initiative is meant to serve as a catalyst for the next generation of diversity programs by combining the energy of the marketing, advertising, and media industries to identify current issues and opportunities around diversity.

Specifically, the initiatives’ goals are to celebrate the accomplishments of outstanding diverse professionals; leverage their stories as a road map for others to follow; mine new data to shine a light on key challenges; and uncover new ways of spurring diversity in our collective industries.

The 2007 ADCOLOR Awards will be hosted by Veronica Webb, Co-host of the Bravo Network’s “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style”
