“It is a true testament to the spirit of this award that Brandon’s legacy is celebrated today in such a diversified and distinguished group,” Perth added in his announcement. “Each of them have helped shape the face of media today and their talent will endure well into the future. Natpe is proud to honor their legacies’ at this special annual event.”
