The announcement was made by Tim Menke, ICG Publicist Awards chair.
 
“This diverse array of nominated campaigns is emblematic of what publicists do – designing and implementing their efforts targeted to a multitude of distinct audiences. This year’s nominees include a wide range of publicizing entertainment including a late-night talk show; Asian, LGBTQ and African American culturally significant stories; modern day comedy; a 40-year-old sequel; cutting edge animation; a 19th century mystery and a nearly silent film. We look forward to celebrating their unique, creative achievements and exceptional bodies of work,” said Menke.
