ANA Announces 2021 Multicultural Excellence Award Winners

Canada’s Pfaff Harley-Davidson Takes Best in Show for “Tough Turban” Campaign by Zulu Alpha Kilo

NEW YORK (October 26, 2021) — Pfaff Harley-Davidson and its agency Zulu Alpha Kilo won the Best in Show award in the 2021 ANA Multicultural Excellence Awards competition for the campaign “Tough Turban.”

The campaign introduced an impact-resistant turban designed by Harley-Davidson that provides Canada’s sizeable Sikh motorcycle-riding community with safety while allowing riders to maintain religious requirements that Sikh men cover their hair as a symbol of respect and humility.

Now in their 21st year, the awards recognize client-side marketers and their agency or media partners who produced multicultural advertising campaigns between June 2020 and June 2021. The winners of this year’s competition, open to both ANA members and nonmembers, were announced last night during a dinner celebration at the annual ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference in San Diego.

The awards raise awareness and exposure of the outstanding work being done in the areas of African American, Asian, Audio, Cross-Cultural Campaigns, Demonstrated Growth, Digital/Social/Mobile, Experiential Marketing, Hispanic, LGBTQ+, People with Disabilities, Print, Rising Multicultural Segments, Small Budget, and Socially Responsible advertising.
