The Church Alive Wins Best of Show!
As I mentioned earlier in the week, Pleth Networks, LLC was the proud recipient of 4 silver and 1 bronze Addy Awards at the 2009 NEA Adfed Banquet held in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In addition to the silver and bronze awards, we were also honored to have one of our entries, The Church Alive, chosen as this years coveted best of show for Interactive media. It has been a hectic week and I haven’t been able to blog about the award until now.
The Church Alive project has been a pet project of mine for the past year or so, and it is also where my wife and I attend church. My partners and I could not be more proud of this award, it’s our first Best of Show award from the American Advertising Federation. Below is a screenshot of our winning entry:
I would also like to say congratulations to all of the other winners at this years Addy Awards. If you are not familiar with the NEA Adfed or the American Advertising Federation, here’s a little information about the group:
AAF-Northeast Arkansas is made up of members who manage, buy, sell, create, produce, teach or study advertising, marketing, public relations or related fields.
AAF-NEA exists to bring together those interested in advertising/marketing for an active exchange of ideas. We strive to provide our members with professional development, recognition and networking opportunities. AAF-NEA is a local affiliate of the American Advertising Federation, a national organization that represents the Advertising industry.
Building a stronger advertising community through education and networking by promoting advertising as an essential element of the Northeast Arkansas economy and culture.
Also, here is a photo of the “best of show” trophy. I currently have it at my office in Conway, but I am going to have to eventually give it up to go on display at our office in Batesville unless we can get duplicates made of it. It sure looks great on my bookcase!!!
Faultline’s Addy Promo Video
Scott Reed and the good people at Faultline Studios put together the promo videos for this years Addy Awards and I have to commend them, they did an awesome job! This is just one of the promo videos that they put together leading up to the event. This cupid dude was one of the presenters at this years award banquet where we ended up with best of show for the interactive category and a few other awards (more on that later), just ran across this video and wanted to bring attention to their awesome work!
Pleth wins 4 Addy’s
My business partners and I received notification this evening that 4 of our client projects had won Addy Awards. We are not for sure what level our projects placed in the competition, but we are pretty excited. We will find out on February 21 in Jonesboro during the Awards Banquet. Last year we picked up one Addy for a project that we collaborated on with Powell Creative.
Our 4 clients that were chosen were: The Church Alive, Arkansas State University Convocation Center, University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville, and G.W. Palmer Logistics. We also had some print entries for a few of these clients as well that were being judged.
If you are unfamiliar with the AAF Addy Awards, here’s a brief explanation:
With over 60,000 entries annually, the ADDY® Awards are the world’s largest and arguably toughest advertising competition. The ADDY® Awards represent the true spirit of creative excellence by recognizing all forms of advertising from media of all types, creative by all sizes and entrants of all levels from anywhere in the world. The American Advertising Federation, a not-for-profit industry association conducts the ADDY® Awards through its 200 member advertising clubs and 15 districts. It is the only creative awards program administered by the advertising industry for the industry.
