Brandon Rochon, managing CCO at Kastner & Partners, and Robert Wong, VP, Google and co-founder of Google Creative Lab, are recipients of this year’s prestigious One Club | ADCOLOR Creative Awards. The honors were presented last night at the 13th Annual ADCOLOR Awards ceremony, taking place during the 2019 ADCOLOR Conference in Los Angeles.
The One Club | ADCOLOR Creative Award recognizes creative professionals of multicultural background who have demonstrated noteworthy talent and achievement within the media, creative, digital and traditional advertising disciplines. The honor is presented jointly by ADCOLOR, the premier organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting professionals of color and diversity in the creative industries, and The One Club for Creativity, the world’s foremost nonprofit organization whose mission is to support and celebrate the success of the global creative community,
“The One Club for Creativity has a long-standing commitment to providing global programming that helps solve the industry’s diversity problem as opposed to just talking about it,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club. “We’re very proud to work with ADCOLOR on this important award and thrilled to have such a well-deserved pair of recipients in Brandon Rochon and Robert Wong.”
