NEW YORK CITY – Not even a global pandemic can stop the New York Festivals Advertising Awards from announcing their special Industry Awards recipients for 2020. The NYF annually recognizes companies that push creative boundaries within the industry with special industry awards. This definitive honor is conferred to those deserving companies whose multi-awarded cutting-edge campaigns challenged the norm with brave ideas that inspired brand affinity, transformed opinions, and engaged consumers.
