Welcome
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the inaugural EDGE Awards.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Marketing EDGE — the only
nonprofit organization solely committed to expanding and enriching the
pool of trained, market-ready talent — tonight we kick off a whole new
event to celebrate the future of our field.
Yes, tonight is a night for celebration! A night to reflect. A night to take
note of the many contributions and successes of our honorees. A night
to pay tribute to their commitment to giving back through education,
mentoring and the trailblazing path they have set in the great field of
marketing. And, perhaps most important, a night to look forward to the
legacy and possibility we are all creating — thanks to your support.
It’s only fitting that tonight we pay tribute to the EDGE Awards
honorees, who demonstrate Ben Franklin’s famous words: “Do well
by doing good.” Each one serves as a great role model for students
and executives alike. It is our distinct pleasure to introduce to you the
inaugural 2016 EDGE Awards honorees:

As we celebrate our honorees, we also join together to share the
inspiration generated through giving back to our professional
community. It’s gratifying to know that while we are working hard for
our own businesses, we also are cultivating tomorrow’s talent to bring
new ideas to this field.
Serving as an example of this future talent among the 400+
professionals here tonight are 43 students — who today completed our
premier summer immersion program, Collegiate Summit — Digital.
What better way to relay the power of why we exist, than having the
future in our midst, exemplifying why your support is so vital.
The valuable work of Marketing EDGE is funded solely through
donations from corporations and individuals; contributing to tonight’s
benefit event is one way to help. Proceeds from this evening will benefit
students… those who will infuse this industry with dynamic new ideas
and the talent our industry needs to thrive in the 21st century. Please
see pages 16-17 and watch the monitors for a list of sponsors that have
generously supported the EDGE Awards.
On behalf of our Board and staff, our academic colleagues and
the students who aspire to be the next generation of marketing
professionals leading from the EDGE, we thank you for your support!
May you leave here with a greater appreciation of the work we do in
partnership with those committed to furthering our mission, to Educate,
Develop, Grow, and Employ college students in the field of marketing.

HONOREE
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
Lester Wunderman
Consultant, Professor, Author, Photographer
@LesterWunderman | @Wunderman | @WPP
Lester Wunderman is chairman emeritus and
founder of Wunderman. He believes, “If there
is a lesson to be learned, it is to not do
anything half-heartedly. If you’re going to do
it at all, give it all you have to give.”
Mr. Wunderman is an advertising legend and
the pioneering father of direct marketing. The
visionary marketing techniques he conceived
and perfected over his long and brilliant career transformed the
advertising industry and continue to shape the interactive marketplace.
After an apprenticeship served at several agencies, Mr. Wunderman
joined Maxwell, Sackheim & Company in 1947, where he became
executive vice president. In 1958, he founded Wunderman, Ricotta &
Kline, now known as Wunderman.
In 1967, in an address at Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Mr. Wunderman identified, named and defined “Direct Marketing” and
has led the theoretical and practical growth of the industry ever since.
He has received many awards and tributes from the direct marketing
industry, including inductions into the Direct Marketing Association’s
Hall of Fame in 1983, and the American Advertising Federation Hall
of Fame.
His book, Being Direct, was published by Random House in January
1997, reissued in 2004 with new information, including the first-ever
Consumer’s Communications Bill of Rights and his views on the Internet,
and issued as an e-book in 2011, with a special message for a new
generation of readers. An earlier book, Frontiers of Direct Marketing,
published in 1981, and many of his speeches are now part of the
Wunderman Archives at Duke University’s Hartman Center for Sales and
Marketing History.
6 | EDGE Awards 2016 | EDGEAwards.org
Mr. Wunderman became fascinated by photography many years ago,
studying at The New School in New York City and working privately with
several well-known photographers. Years ago, he met regularly with
Cornell Capa, Carl Katz and Jacqueline Kennedy to discuss the possibility
of a professional school of photography. And so the International Center
of Photography was born, and has thrived ever since.
His photographs have been on display at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in association with his collection of Dogon sculpture, which he
donated, and 50 photographs remain in its permanent collection. In
addition, his photographs have become part of the permanent collection
in the Dapper Foundation in Paris, now part of the Louvre.
A native New Yorker born in the Bronx, Mr. Wunderman and his wife,
Sue (Cott), make their home in Manhattan.
Lester Wunderman Scholarship Fund
Marketing EDGE’s First International Scholarship Fund
to Support Next Generation Marketers
In conjunction with this pinnacle award, we are proud to introduce the Lester Wunderman
Scholarship Fund, to honor his lifelong achievements and vision. Impacting countless
men and women throughout the advertising and marketing field, this new scholarship
fund ensures that his legacy and impact continues for generations to come.
The Lester Wunderman Scholarship Fund is uniquely designed to support talented
students from diverse backgrounds, with broad skills and nationalities, all with the
common desire to pursue a career in marketing (defined as the evolving practices of
advertising, as well as direct, digital, mobile, and social media marketing).

agencies to accelerate these changes. We build on the leading edge of
technology and innovate to scale. We marry software – purpose-built for

creed – to foster and promote excellence for generations to come.
