The "Prepare to Protect" campaign was created to increase the Hispanic community's confidence and interest in doing advance preparation for natural disasters by showcasing the segment's impeccable skills and enthusiasm for planning milestones, such as weddings, quinceañeras and other occurrences for their loved ones.

Unilever: "Nos Inspiras Tú" – BRONZE In the Multicultural Category

"Nos Inspiras Tú," which translates to "You Are Our Inspiration," is a multi-channel integrated media campaign created to pave the way for Unilever and its wide variety of brands to create a deep bond with Hispanics' passion points for Hispanic Heritage Month, on issues such as beauty, self-confidence, community and food equality.

Mattress Firm: "Hablemos de tu Descanso" – SILVER in the Retail Category andBRONZE in the Multicultural Category
