The American Advertising Federation has announced the winners of the 2024 Mosaic Awards who are deemed to exemplify excellence in multicultural advertising and diversity, equity and inclusion.
The awards will be presented on September 26 at a New York City gala hosted by Crissle West, host of the podcast “The Read.”
This year’s awards introduce two new categories.
“Agency of the Year” honors a minority-owned agency that has demonstrated outstanding commitment to fostering inclusive creative and workplace environments. Walton Isaacson is the inaugural honoree.
The “Mosaic Center Guardian Award” recognizes an individual who directly advocates and elevates the Mosaic Center’s programs, contributing significantly to the Mosaic Center’s mission. The inaugural honoree is Jeff Marshall, principal of Marshall Media.

The judging panel includes talent from agencies and brands such as Meta, FCB, BBDO, Wieden+Kennedy, Elite Media, Walton Isaacson, AKQA, Off the Cuff, Translation and Omnicom Media Group.
