Two Web Excellence Awards were received for DefeatDD’s character illustration, created by NJI, for World Toilet Day to activate global audiences and foster conversation around sanitation across social media platforms. The Poo Guru aims to defeat diarrheal disease, the second-leading deadly disease for children under 5, by sharing practical and cost-effective prevention and treatment solutions.

The second award celebrates THD’s 2022 Store Managers Meeting, bringing employees from over 2,000 store locations together for a maximum-impact experience.
