Ogilvy was the sole advertising agency sponsor at the Presenting Sponsorship level.
"At Ogilvy, we are always striving to create work that reflects the diversity of our clients' customer bases," said Marco DiDomizio of Ogilvy's Client Finance Group and co-chair of Ogilvy's LGBT employee resource group. "Our relationship with GLAAD goes way back. We've been recipients of its Commercial Closet Awards numerous times in the past. So when the opportunity to help the organization create an awards program specifically devoted to honoring positive portrayals of gays and lesbians in advertising, we jumped at it."
The ceremony which took place last night at New World Stages, 340 W. 50th Street, was hosted by actor Alan Cumming, the Vito Russo Award honoree at the 16th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
"Advertisers that promote fair, accurate and inclusive images of the gay and transgender community send an important message to their customers, to fellow corporations - and to anyone who sees their ads - that LGBT people should be accepted and valued for our contributions to society," said Jarrett Barrios, GLAAD President. "GLAAD congratulates the award recipients and will continue to advocate for increased inclusion of LGBT images in mainstream advertising to show gay and transgender people are part of America and respected as customers and employees in these companies."
Award recipients can be seen at www.glaad.org/advertisingawards/recipients.
