Triple the Honors

Work by VMLY&R has been honored in three categories of Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for 2022.

"I Will Always Be Me" by VMLY&R New York for Dell Technologies, Intel, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, and Rolls-Royce received an honorable mention in the Experimental category.

"The Rainbow Hack" by VMLY&R Turkey for Change.org, Hayata Destek, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, ESHID, and Mor Çatı received an honorable mention in the Social Justice category.

"Black Madison Avenue" by New York Festivals and Walter Geer, chief experience design officer at VMLY&R Health, received an honorable mention in the Social Justice category.

The Innovation by Design Awards, which can be found in the October 2022 issue of Fast Company, honor the designers and businesses solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. The competition, now in its 11th year, features a range of blue-chip companies, emerging startups, and hungry young talents. It is one of the most sought-after design awards in the industry.

“A common theme among this year’s Innovation by Design honorees, which range from healthcare interfaces to autonomous driving technology, is permanence,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The products that leaped out to our editors and judges went against our quick-fix consumer culture, while also manifesting a more inclusive vision of design.”

The judges include renowned designers from a variety of disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors. Entries are judged on the key ingredients of innovation: functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight, cultural impact, and business impact.

Winners, finalists, and honorable mentions are featured online and in the October issue of Fast Company magazine, on newsstands September 27, 2022.
