WASHINGTON, D.C., Mar. 21, 2016—Companies and individuals who have created cutting edge content that offers a voice to multicultural communities and corporate initiatives that promote inclusion in the workplace will be recognized at the American Advertising Federation’s (AAF) 2016 Mosaic Awards. Since its inception in 2001, the Mosaic Awards have been an extension of the AAF’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, promoting and honoring content that has paved new paths and broken through barriers to diversity in advertising and media. This year will mark the debut of the Mosaic Media Image Award category.

 

The Mosaic Media Image Awards will recognize individuals and companies that create and promote media content that presents a broad, realistic spectrum of multicultural life that extends beyond stereotypical portrayals. Creative Artists Agency (CAA) will serve as presenting sponsor for the category this year.

 

“The AAF shares CAA’s commitment to supporting content that is reflective of the world in which we live and ensuring more opportunities for diverse talent to tell their stories,” said the agency’s Head of Diversity, Ryan Tarpley. “We are proud to be a part of honoring those who are united in making our business more inclusive of multicultural and female voices.”
