Industry Impact Award – recognizes an outstanding professional whose ideas, talent, passion and leadership has left an indelible mark on the marketing communications world. This individual is an agent of change; someone who develops and promotes new ideas that have a forceful, yet positive impact on the industry. They change the way we work, think and create – for the better.

AAF Silver Medal Award – The American Advertising Federation’s Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Annually, the AAF’s Ad Clubs bestow this honor upon outstanding members of the local advertising community. The award serves to enhance the image of advertising by recognizing a locally well-known person for his or her advertising and community involvement.

4 Under 40 – we honor 4 young professionals under the age of 40 who are the industry’s rising stars.
