On August 9, the 4A’s honored and celebrated 2012 graduating MAIP interns as well as advertising and media executives invested in advancing the diversity and inclusion mission through the second annual full-day symposium, “The Face of Talent.”

The 4A’s announced today the launch of the first accredited advertising agency in the country run by high school students.

4A’s President and CEO Nancy Hill received AWNY’s “Changing the Game” award today during a luncheon held at the New York Hilton.

Founded as the first agency to target African American, Asian and Hispanic audiences, the award-winning agency has developed culturally relevant messaging for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and nonprofit organizations.

In 2011, the 4A’s developed programs and acted on the membership’s behalf in a variety of areas and on various issues. We also released and distributed numerous bulletins and books to our members.
