CMDC awards results are in

Last night was the CMDC YA Future Impact Awards. This award recognizes the accomplishments of young professionals making a difference in the media industry.

We are very proud and pleased to announce that a few of our amazing young talent was recognized.

First of all, our very own Johari Williams, Group Account Director won Media Leader of the Year, and we could not think of a more deserving person. The dedication, care and attention that Johari shows for her team, making sure that everyone, regardless of gender or race, feel like they are being heard, and that their needs are being met has made huge waves and strides within our organization and in the industry at large. The true definition of a leader, she has made spots at the table available and voices heard for those lucky enough to work with her. She pushes boundaries, sets her team and clients up for success, without losing sight of a very important truth- that we are all human. Congratulations, Johari! There aren’t enough words to explain how much you deserve this award.

And last but certainly not least, congratulations to Farial Nazim, Senior Media Planner, who was shortlisted for Data Miner of the Year and Cameron Swanson, Senior Analyst, Search Marketing, who was shortlisted for Innovator of the Year. Your hard work, perseverance and straight up talent certainly have not gone unnoticed. You make us proud!

Thank you all for your submissions. Media Experts was one of the agencies that had the highest volume of nominations.
