UPDATE: SUPERLICIOUS NEW PHOTO ADDEDAccording to the newly named Advertising Federation of NW PA (the former Erie Ad Club), creativity isn't limited to art directors and copywriters.
The 2nd Annual Creative Spark Awards, which took place last Friday evening at the Bayfront Sheraton, honor those "non-creatives" who bring out-of-the-box thinking to their roles as media representatives, account executives, printers and broadcast producers, to name a few.
Although our own Jamie Potosnak shudders when he hears the words "non" and "creative" associated with his name, he was still honored as the 2008 Creative Spark Advertising Agency AE.
Now he can finally gloat about something other than his PA State Football Championship trophy. (Yes, he was the place kicker for Strong Vincent high school in the early 90s.)
Congrats to Jamie as well as all who were honored Friday night, including Mr. Bill (Corapi), Chris Pennsy, Doreen DeFabio and many, many more. They all were lucky enough to take home an Art Becker original.
Oh, and a big "hey now" goes out to Skip Papa for winning Ad Person of the Year.
