ADCOLOR | One Club Creative Award
Established in 2009, the ADCOLOR | THE ONE CLUB Creative Award is a 15-year partnership between two leading organizations in diversity and creative excellence. It celebrates the top creatives in our industry—visionaries who push culture forward, break barriers, and go against the norm. Honoring work that sparks change and amplifies underrepresented voices, this award recognizes those whose creativity doesn’t just tell stories, it rewrites them.
