2020 Communicators of the Year

THE YEAR'S MOST EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNICATORS IN AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD

Each year for the past 56 years, ANA NYC has honored the Communicators of the Year – the marketers who have communicated with the greatest insight, creativity and engagement. Our 2020 Communicators of the Year exhibited all of these qualities – but did so with the agility, empathy, humanity and innovation called for in a year unlike any other. On February 10 we celebrated their exemplary, inspiring work – and the impact they made when it was needed most.
