Barbie to Receive a Clio Award
Barbie will be honored with the Brand Icon award at the 60th annual Clio Awards. “Our culture has evolved in so many ways over the last six decades, but Barbie’s iconic message has always remained the same,” says Clio president Nicole Purcell. “The brand’s commitment to empowering girls to believe in themselves, their choices and their unlimited potential is still so timely and so powerful, we’re thrilled to be able to honor that message and celebrate our shared history as part of our milestone awards ceremony.” The Clio Awards, which will be hosted by Andy Cohen, will take place September 25th in New York.
