Cannes Can: Diversity Collective presents the 3rd annual AYA Inclusion Awards on June 17 at Inkwell Beach, hosted by the “Queen of Tea” B. Scott.
The AYA Inclusion Awards is a creative recognition of profound distinction, aiming to transform the advertising, marketing and communications industries – spaces that control how we view the human condition and each other. The award is a symbol of why inclusion is good for the world and good for business and recognizes the power of creativity to reshape the world.
