Each month The AD Club recognizes an outstanding individual who has demonstrated a strong commitment and is a valuable member of our organization and the industry at large. This month we recognize Mark Ford, Executive Vice President, Advertising Sales, Time, Inc. Your dedication and support are greatly appreciated. Congratulations!
For more than a century, The ADVERTISING Club of New York has driven impactful change in the advertising industry, igniting conversation around the causes that matter most – diversity being one of them.
As you may be aware, the Club launched a new platform, i’mPART, to encourage and support a diverse workforce and raise awareness of the benefits of diversity in business. To date, it has raised more than $1 million to support the nation’s leading diversity programs.
This unprecedented success would not be possible if it weren’t for our dedicated publishing partners. Mark has been a huge proponent of i’mPART, and continues to champion the effort at Time. For that, we recognize Mark as The AD Club’s July Person of the Month.

He was named to BusinessWeek’s 2008 list of the “Most Influential People in Sports Business” and Mediaweek’s 2010 list of industry innovators.
