Independent Media Agency's DEI Efforts Shine Among Five Cross-Industry Finalists in the Large Company Category
NEW YORK, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Horizon Media, the largest U.S. media agency according to AdAge Data Center 2022, has been honored by Crain's New York Business as the 2022 Diversity Champion among large businesses in New York City. Beyond a commitment to having a diverse workforce, Crain's recognized Horizon for the breadth and depth of its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the workplace -- including its Agency of Belonging pillars, Employee Resource Groups, client work, development of industry tools and resources to address issues of bias, expanded benefits and more. This distinction comes on the heels of Horizon being named to the Fortune Magazine 2022 Best Workplaces in New York earlier this month.
"It is important to recognize Crain's for understanding the need to establish this award – now in its second year – and to assess companies beyond percentages and hiring stats," said Bill Koenigsberg, CEO and Founder of Horizon Media. "It's about effecting sustained cultural change and providing resources and creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and opportunity. At Horizon, we are committed every day to ensuring DEI is infused into who we are, our DNA. It's not an item on a checklist to complete -- it's how you behave, and we're honored to receive this award recognizing our efforts and our continued progress."
Horizon Media has consistently been named to various prestigious Best Workplaces Lists including Crain's Best Places to Work in New York City for four years running, Los Angeles Business Journal's Best Places to Work in Los Angeles for three consecutive years, AdAge's Best Places to Work, and Fortune's Best Workplaces in Advertising & Marketing and Top Places to Work for Women lists.
