The Ad Council's Newsletter for Social Good

Over 60 traditional and digital stars took part and shared inspiring photos, stories and posts on their channels.

LATINX HERITAGE PANEL
Earlier this month, we welcomed over 70 industry guests to our NYC office for Yo Soy, a panel commemorating Latinx Heritage Month and featuring Latinx voices from all over the advertising and social good world. It’s the first in a series of events celebrating various POC communities—stay tuned for details on our next event! You can read key takeaways from the panel in our Adlibbing blog.

NEW CREATIVE PROMOTES ADOPTION FROM FOSTER CARE
No matter our age, we never outgrow the need for a loving and supportive family. Our latest work for Adoption from Foster Care, created pro bono by Barbarian, reminds prospective parents that adopted teens can give families new moments to look forward to. Since launching in 2004, the campaign has contributed to over 30,000 adoptions!
