MIAMI, FL: “Restroom for All”, a campaign created by McCann New York for Mastercard, claimed best-in-show honours at the Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) 2017 Multicultural Excellence Awards.
The financial-services brand was honoured on the first night of the ANA’s annual Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference in Miami for a campaign to promote LGBT rights at the NYC Pride Parade.

The campaign garnered nearly 10m earned impressions globally, and thus helped to spread the message of acceptance and equality well beyond New York.
Alongside the evening’s top award, “Restroom for All” captured honours in the LGBT category, edging out finalists “We are Bold”, developed for AT&T by The 360 Agency, and a “Flawless” spot produced for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by Rescue Agency.
