So it’s pretty much the day after Christmas all over again. With months of hype, preparation and ADDY carols playing incessantly in the grocery stores, it felt like the day would never arrive. But arrive it did, and in its wake we’re left bleary-eyed and hoping no one took pictures. Still, we came out with a pretty good haul this year.
GCG’s big winner of the year was our self-promotional poster touting the GCG Firearms School for Women. We earned a silver ADDY at the District ADDY Awards for the poster, but the story behind it is really much more interesting. When the female employees of GCG Marketing began learning to shoot guns, President Neil Foster saw through their thinly veiled threat. And you know it’s no coincidence that there was a sudden abundance of flowers and chocolates here at the agency.
As for the 2010 Fort Worth ADDY Awards, we were able to bring home some pretty fine hardware as well.
The nice part of being part-owners of a local brewery was already explained earlier in this sentence. We won gold for this series of posters for Fort Worth’s own Rahr & Sons Brewery.
When a client held a customer event inside the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, we thought it was a golden opportunity to do a cool collateral piece. And then we won gold for it. Crap. I’ve got to go. The Pun Police are here.
You two have already been introduced, but before it could go on to win a District ADDY Silver, it had to first win gold. And it did.
We’ve been working with Cash America since 1994, and it’s always been our goal to do award-winning work for our clients. This year, we won two golds for illustrations for their 2008 annual report.
So that’s it for the top of the podium. Next year we plan on coming out swinging with even more award-winning work. And you know we’ll tell you all about it. We’re not that modest.
