Hook Honored for DEI, Responsible Technology

Honors by Anthem Awards

Anthem Awards 2024

“Doing the work that matters” may sound cliche, but it’s a sentiment we hold near and dear for both our communities and our clients. That’s why it’s such an honor to celebrate two wins at the 4th Annual Anthem Awards, a Webby Awards initiative honoring the social impact work that’s making a difference.

For this latest partnership, we teamed up with Google on their language inclusion initiative, which focuses on making technology more accessible by removing language barriers for communities around the globe. After collecting over one million files of native tongue recordings, Google’s research team leveraged machine learning to integrate these languages into Google’s product suite, increasing internet accessibility and language inclusivity. To showcase the research behind this project, we developed an interactive website highlighting the human stories making this research possible and the long-lasting impact this technology can have on real communities.

Celebrating work that makes a difference

The Anthem Awards celebrate the people and organizations doing the mission-driven work that’s sparking change across the globe. It’s always an honor to be recognized, and we’re proud to continue driving awareness for Google’s language preservation efforts with two wins in the Digital and Innovative Experiences category:

  • Gold: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
  • Silver: Responsible Technology
