We are very pleased to announce that our collateral work for Jun and Yo Okamoto—”A Lucky Flight Wedding”—has been selected as a winner in this year’s National ADDY Awards competition by the American Advertising Federation.

With over 60,000 entries annually, the ADDY Awards are the world’s largest and arguably toughest advertising competition. Entrants must win both local-level and then district-level competitions in order to be considered for a national award. This year the AAF awarded only 335 ADDYs from the initial field of 60,000 entries. We are very honored to have been recognized by the AAF and to be the recipient of one of only two National ADDY to be awarded to agencies in the Reno-Tahoe A2N2 area.

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.
