To celebrate creative excellence in our industry, Studiobanks joined more than 32 Charlotte advertising and design firms at last week's 2010 Charlotte ADDY® Awards & Gala Show.

Thank you to clients Muzak and Foundation for the Carolinas for their amazing partnership and collaboration on these award-winning projects! Also, cheers to all involved in putting together a tremendous show and congratulations to all of this year's winners.

The ADDYs are the advertising industry's largest and most representative competition, recognizing and rewarding creative excellence. This year more than 50 Charlotte-area companies submitted over 375 entries of work to the Charlotte ADDY competition. Only 135, or roughly 35%, of those entries were honored with an ADDY Award. We are happy to announce Studiobanks received 7 of those ADDYs. We snagged 5 of the 12 ADDYs bestowed on website development. Studiobanks was the only shop to win a Gold ADDY for web development.

Will 1 Comments

For this year's ADDY® Awards Studiobanks created a web campaign playing off of their "Call For Entries" print material.

We were then presented with the opportunity to be one of the event's title sponsors. So on March 6th at the ADDY® Awards you can keep an eye out for our ad in the event program (shown above) and our logo animation playing during the awards ceremony. Both feature the character design of Bloo Empire's Keeley Carrigan.

Here's a little sneak peak of the logo animation we put together this week:

Who is Keeping You Down and Holding You Back?

Banks 0 Comments

To help promote this year's ADDY® Awards and Gala Show, we've created a web campaign based on the "Call For Entries" mailer and poster designed by Limerick and Hot Sake. It was made for people in the creative industry to poke fun at their boss, a client or any other worthy foe. People can anonymously log on to the site, provide the person's name, upload their photo and dress them up anyway they see fit. From there, they can print it, email it or post it in the bathroom—it's up to them. Share it with the world, because we are going to print them all out and hang them up at this year's ADDY® Awards and Gala Show on March 6th.

Check it out and then let the rest of the world know who is keeping you down and holding you back!
