Mosaic Champion Award

About Mosaic & The Award

This award is inspired by the principles of the national American Advertising Federation’s Mosaic Council, the US advertising industry’s preeminent think tank on diversity and inclusion. Each year at ADMERICA (AAF’s annual national conference), the Mosaic Council recognizes companies and agencies whose commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident through their creative work and organization-wide initiatives.

The AAF-BR Mosaic Champion Award will recognize an individual or organization that has been continuously supportive of diversity and inclusion within the creative/advertising industry in the Greater Baton Rouge area.
