NYF Announces Carol H. Williams ‘Together For Better Award’ as AdVenture Media Celebrates Grand Winners

Carol H. Williams Advertising (CHWA), the longest-running independent multi-cultural marketing shop in the country, and AdVenture Media, one of New York’s fastest growing digital agencies, join forces with New York Festivals Bowery Awards to honour the 2020 competition winners.

The Carol H. Williams ‘Together for Better Award’ is a new category that accepts work from each of the Bowery Awards category groups and honours campaigns that promote unity and diversity. Advertising icon and Hall of Famer, Carol H. Williams will judge the 'Together For Better' creative entries and select the winner who will receive this prestigious award.

“Along with our collaborators and sponsor, Fiverr and AdVenture Media, we're incredibly honoured to announce that Advertising Hall of Famer and Bowery executive jury member, Carol H. Williams will be selecting the winning work from this category,” said Scott Rose, executive director, New York Festivals The Bowery Awards.

"Powerful narratives are the shaping force in our lives and thereby creates empathy and motivates action at their most profound level. Narratives that ignite and nurture passions within us, envision new possibilities, develop confidence, and inspire us to overcome any obstacles that we face in making what was once unimaginable, imaginable", added Carol H. Williams, owner, president, CEO and chief creative officer.

AdVenture Media, sponsor of the Bowery Awards, has donated a dedicated amount of prize money to Bowery’s Grand Award-winning free-lancers and independent creatives. Prize money will be used to run a paid advertising campaign on behalf of the Grand winners within each category group.

“I'm incredibly honoured that the Bowery Awards is giving our agency the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful event,” said Isaac Rudansky, founder and CEO of AdVenture Media. “Few freelancers have the skills, budget, and know-how to profitably advertise their services. It's not a skill they've typically developed. Harder still, paid advertising is ruthlessly competitive. All of us at AdVenture Media felt that the 'prize' we offered is more than a prize, AdVenture Media will use its experience, relationships, and data to get the winning freelancers more business.”

The 2020 Bowery Awards executive jury will honour the top scoring entry in each category with a Grand Award in the following category groups Audio, Motion Video, Design, Quarantine Content, Made on Fiverr and the Carol H. Williams 'Together For Better' Awards. Entrants earning a Bowery Award Grand Prize will receive a trio of prizes: a customised trophy, an accelerated path to Fiverr Pro, and $1000 dollars in AdVenture Media services.

This week’s episode of New York Festivals video interview series, Creativity from the Other Side, features Isaac Rudansky, founder and CEO of AdVenture Media. Hosted by David Sable, senior advisor, WPP and president of the Bowery Awards executive jury, the series provides an insider’s view of how creative people drive innovation within business.
