The Warren Lecture in Advertising and Digital Media honors the memory of Irwin Warren, who created some of the nation's most successful advertising campaigns. The lecture series was established by Patrick Mutchler, a graduate of the School of Journalism and Media, formerly the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, in the University of Kentucky College of Communication and Information, who worked with Warren while in marketing with Johnson & Johnson.
