A business with purpose is great. But what’s even greater is the purpose of business:
To benefit the world around us. That’s not altruism. It’s interdependence. Because what’s good for people, for the environment, for ecosystems, for communities —that’s good for business. We’ve forgotten that, somewhere along the way. And it’s time to remember. And honor great work done with true Purpose.
- Scott Goodson & Angelique Bellmer Krembs
We’ve revamped the Purpose category group and tailored it to honor the incredible work being done by Brands and NGOs to celebrate the art, the craft, and the insight of mass persuasion for good. To bestow the NYF Towers upon excellence in Purpose work, we’re honored to have a jury who can talk the talk, but absolutely walk the Purpose walk.
Over two days in NYC, the Cutting Edge Jury, chaired by Sergio Lopez-Ferrero, the Global CEO of Production at Publicis Groupe, will be awarding the iconic NYF Advertising Tower, to the fog cutting work that has one foot in the future.
