We certainly are consistent… Over the past few years, we have had a very strong showing at the ADDY Awards and we did it again this year. We took home 16 ADDYs — eight gold, four silver, three bronze and a Judges’ Choice.
The majority of the honors we received were for the “Durable People” campaign created for the CORDURA® brand. We also won awards for work created for Georgia-Pacific Professional, Texas Farm Products, Invacare and for the agency itself.
