“Among marketing professionals, a Silver Apple honoree represents the full potential of what a marketing career can be, including a ‘giving back’ component to the field, industry and community,” said MCNY President Alicia Wiedemann, chief strategy officer, Summer Friday. “When the MCNY Board evaluates the nominations – submitted by their peers – we see the innovators, the achievers, the disruptors, and a deep commitment to improve the practice of marketing as a direct result of their service. Each recipient is an inspiration to all of us, no matter where we are in our careers, and most certainly a great supporter of mentorship and education. I most appreciate the dynamic example they set for new entrants to our field.”
