So the 37th Annual Erie Advertising Club ADDY® Awards took place at the Metropolitan Dance Club on Friday night. Pictured above are a few of my esteemed colleagues as well as a couple of our favorite clients.
The ADDY Awards ceremony is the first of a three-tiered national competition conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF). The ADDY Awards Competition is the industry's largest and most representative competition for creative excellence.
That being said, we took home top honors (AKA, Best of Show) for the fifth time in the last six years and the sixth time overall during the past nine years. It's akin to winning Best Picture at the Oscars, only without all the overblown hype and media frenzy. We did, however, get to fully enjoy the open bar.
This year, we were awarded Best of Show for "Go. Downtown."—a series of 15-second TV commercials we shot and edited in-house for EMTA's new Bay Liner Trolley service. You can peruse one of the winning spots here. And the next time you're downtown, jump on board one of the trolleys. After all, they're free.
Kudos to Christine Yamrick and the rest of the Ad Club board who put on quite an event. It was probably one of the best ADDY Awards in years. Although, if there's one negative I can vividly recall, it was the ever-so-tightly costumed Spiderman and the unfortunate appearance of what will henceforth be described simply as his "package of Rollos." (As the theme of this year's event was Creative Superheroes, so enters the guy in the revealing Spidey outfit.)
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the agencies/creatives who submitted their work this year. And also send a special belated shout out to Ed Bernik and the folks at Forest Press who took home Best of Show honors a year ago.
For those of you who were there, just remember one thing: Save the creative. Save the world.
