The Cortez Brothers, Walton Isaacson, PepsiCo Take Home Shorty Impact Award

The Shorty Awards, also known as "The Shortys", are awards for outstanding and innovative short-form work in digital and social media content by brands, advertising agencies, and creators; they also produce an annual award program called The Shorty Impact Awards, a competition dedicated to showcasing digital and social media-based projects by brands, agencies, and organizations that seek to make the world a better place.

This year's winner in the Diverse-Owned Businesses Campaign category is the Doritos® SOLID BLACK Campaign, which was launched to amplify Black voices and support Black changemakers. A multi-faceted undertaking that recognized changemakers, forged strategic partnerships, harnessed the power of media and public engagement, included merchandise and product integration, and reinforced it all with field support and local engagement, the campaign resulted in over 1.5 billion earned impressions.

Los Angeles-based The Cortez Brothers, Inc. (with President/Executive Producer Bernadette Rivero, and Managing Director/Partner Ed Rivero) participated in the production, with director Jerome Kruin at the helm of the Atlanta-based shoot.
