Spotlight Attends the American Advertising Awards and Takes Home Three Awards

For the last few years, Spotlight has been elated to be one of the season sponsors of the American Advertising Federation of North Dakota. Every year they host an annual awards banquet that recognizes the areas work in marketing, advertising and creative initiatives that are judged by individuals outside of our region.

The American Advertising Awards hosted by AAF-ND is one of our team’s favorite events to attend, not only because it is a blast but it is also amazing to see some of the creative work done by our peers.

This year we submitted a number of pieces of work through our print publications, marketing campaigns and video projects and were ecstatic to come home with three awards this year including one of the top awards of the night, Judges Choice.

Here is a look at some of the recognitions we got at the event. 🏆

Hear from Jesse Taylor on why he picked this piece as his top project of the year.

Jesse Taylor is an award-winning, stranger-to-none Art Director and Graphic Designer out of Colorado Springs, CO. He has a passion for design and people and his fulfillment comes when connecting the two. He’s been working in the creative industry for over a decade in fields ranging from medical, environmental and social impact to beverage and packaging. In his agency role at Marketing for Change, he leads creative campaigns from concept to execution. He’s also a freelancer with a focus on branding, typography and illustration – a few of those pieces being published in LogoLounge and Typism. And when he’s not busy enough with that you can find him working on a passion project, or two.
 
Thank you to all of the judges and AAF-ND for a great evening the opportunity for us creatives to show off our favorite projects of the year.
