Congratulations to our very own EVP, Head of Communications, Mikaela Liboro for being selected as part of the 2024 ADCOLOR LEADERS program!   "My journey with ADCOLOR started more than 10 years ago as an ADCOLOR FUTURES mentor and I've seen first hand the impact this organization has had on our industry. I am incredibly honored to be a part of the 2024 class of ADCOLOR LEADERS, learning from the best professionals out there and sharing back learnings to McCann New York."   This year's ADCOLOR Conference and Awards theme, "Off Mute" encourages companies and professionals to champion DEI loudly and this is exactly Mika does day in and day out in her role at McCann New York. Congrats to all the professionals who made this year's ADCOLOR LEADERS cohort! And shoutout to one of our MAIP Interns, Emiri “Emily” Mogami, for being named a 2024 ADCOLOR FUTURE!!!

Thank you Fast Company for recognizing "ADLaM" as a winner in the Social Justice category for the 2024 Innovation by Design Awards. Shoutout to McCann Design for their work in developing a typeface to save a language and to our Microsoft clients for their continued recognition. Additionally, congratulations to our friends at McCANN Poland for taking home an award in the Finance category for Mastercard's Where to Settle campaign! 

Last week, we celebrated the life and legacy of Ilon Specht, the radical creative genius behind L’Oréal Paris’ iconic tagline, "Because I'm Worth It." This groundbreaking idea, crafted in 1973 when Ilon was a young copywriter at McCann New York, not only revolutionized advertising in the beauty category but also became a powerful feminist statement. We paid tribute to Ilon by sharing a moving documentary by two-time Academy Award® winner Ben Proudfoot, “The Final Copy of Ilon Specht” and heard more of Ilon’s story from those who knew her best, including her children, Alison Case and Brady Case, as well as her family, friends and former colleagues. Thank you to The Paley Center for Media and She Runs It for participating in this very special event, and to Ilon’s family and everyone who joined us, took part in the discussion, and helped make this such a memorable night.

Our Chief Growth Officer, Suresh Raj, shared his thoughts on the importance of visibility as an LGBTQ+ leader and why it’s important to keep persevering, even with inevitable hurdles. Read more on Inc.com! https://lnkd.in/eT8sBGBA

We are proud to have our continued work with Mastercard recognized at this year's Cannes Lions Festival. From introducing "True Name" in 2019 to helping refugees with "Where to Settle," our work with the brand is rooted in inclusivity, opening opportunities for everyone to have access to a better financial system and the support to experience their own Priceless moments. This body of work, dubbed "Inclusive by Design," was awarded a Gold Lion in Creative Strategy and a Bronze Lion in Creative Effectiveness. Congratulations to the team and Mastercard for this recognition along with all the incredible work from McCann Worldgroup that won Lions!
