WASHINGTON, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Advertising Federation (AAF) announced the honorees for its 29th Annual Advertising Hall of Achievement (AHOA), celebrating those individuals 40 years of age or younger who are making a notable contribution to the advertising industry through both their work and philanthropic community activities. The seven inductees were chosen by the AAF's distinguished Advertising Hall of Achievement Council of Judges. Winners will be inducted at luncheon ceremonies on Wednesday November 17, 2021 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. This will be an extra special celebration as it will also represent the first live event hosted by AAF since the start of the COVID lockdown in March 2020.

This year's Class of 2021 honorees reflects a mix of diverse backgrounds, interests and communities and include top executives from dentsu, HBO, MikMak, RLVNT Media, Snap Inc., TikTok and UM Worldwide. In alphabetical order:

    --  Arielle Garcia, Chief Privacy Officer, UM Worldwide.  As the first-ever
        agency-based Chief Privacy Officer, Arielle brings much-needed
        inspiration and diversity of thought to the industry, while driving
        ethical data use, transparency, brand safety and responsibility within
        client services and across the digital ecosystem.
    --  Emily Giannusa, Vice President, Program Marketing, HBO.  Emily has
        forged new paths in emerging technology, building new fandoms, inspiring
        creativity and lighting the way for others to learn from their example. 
        They have a spirit of innovation that drives results and empowers
        audiences.
    --  Jeff Miller, Senior Director, Global Creative Strategy, Snapchat.  Jeff
        was introduced to marketing through the AAF's National Student
        Advertising Competition in 2003.  His career has crossed the worlds of
        agency, client and platform, always focused on delivering campaigns that
        impact culture, while also investing personal resources to elevate
        underrepresented communities.
    --  Christena Pyle, Chief Equity Officer, Americas, dentsu.  Christena has
        defined her career by challenging the status quo.  She is a driving

    --  Rachel Tipograph, Founder and CEO, MikMak.  During COVID, eCommerce
        became a lifeblood for brands and MikMak provided them with eCommerce

        Rachel reimagine the future of work and build a company that people want
        to work for.
    --  Nick Tran, Head of Global Marketing, TikTok.  Good marketers change the
        cultural conversation, better marketers drive it; for Nick, it means
        marketing at the "speed of culture" and a chance to use his platform to
        be a vocal champion for marginalized voices and the AAPI community,
        specifically.
    --  Tina Wells, Founder and CEO, RLVNT Media.  Entrepreneur, strategist and
        best-selling author, Tina understands young people and has been a beacon
        for niche markets and emerging media trends, bringing 100% of herself to
        her work and driven by the belief that community is everything.

Christena Pyle will also receive the esteemed Jack Avrett Volunteer Spirit Award, named in honor of the legendary co-chairman and founder of Avrett, Free & Ginsberg, for her exceptionally high commitment to public service and the betterment of both the advertising industry and the larger community.

"Attracting, recognizing and developing the next generation of talent is an ongoing mission of the AAF. And the Advertising Hall of Achievement is one of the many ways to celebrate the good people doing great work in our industry," said Steve Pacheco, President and CEO, AAF. "I am especially proud of this year's class for the depth and breadth of diversity and inclusion they project and reflect. And how fitting that the occasion of their celebration should mark the first chance we've had to be able to get together in person. A literal and metaphoric expression of how AAF is 'The Unifying Voice in Advertising.'" He added, "I want to thank our AHOA Chairs Brian Monahan of dentsu and Melissa Barnes of Twitter and our esteemed Council of Judges for their time and diligence in evaluating the many, many worthy candidates who were nominated for this year's Hall."
