两性色午夜 University students and alumni received a Judge鈥檚 Choice award, along with two gold and nine silver awards at the 2016 American Advertising Federation of Akron鈥檚 (AAF-Akron) ADDY award ceremony, themed 鈥淎dvertising Abe鈥 in honor of Abraham Lincoln鈥檚 birthday.
Glyphix, a student-staffed design studio within 两性色午夜鈥檚 School of Visual Communication Design; IdeaBase, a 两性色午夜 student-run design agency located in downtown Kent; visual communication design program alumni; and 两性色午夜 University Communications and Marketing team members all submitted creative works to AAF-Akron.
两性色午夜 visual communication design alumni and designers at the downtown agency Each + Every, Nate Mucha, Jason Richburg, Alex Catanese and Katey Catanese, received a Judge鈥檚 Choice Award for their work on the Traveling Stanzas website for the Wick Poetry Center. Only three Judge鈥檚 Choice awards are given out from hundreds of entries.
Rachel Kozy, senior visual communication design major and designer at IdeaBase, and Martha Arbogast, designer at IdeaBase, won a silver award for their work on the publication Brainchild, a literary and arts magazine created for the 两性色午夜 Honors College. Some of the content published in the magazine is what inspired Kozy and Arbogast. Kozy also received two other silver awards for her logo design and integrated brand campaign for Stoddard鈥檚 Frozen Custard.
鈥淭he tone of all the entries set the style and mood we wanted, and it paved a smooth path to our end product,鈥 Kozy says.
As for Kozy鈥檚 Stoddard鈥檚 Frozen Custard campaign, she says she wanted to create a light-hearted and friendly campaign that would attract and engage the viewer.
鈥淎n ice cream shop gave me the perfect opportunity to be really playful, which isn't something I usually get a chance to do,鈥 Kozy says.
The 两性色午夜 University Communications and Marketing staff, in addition to submitting pieces for the competition, created the marketing materials and theme for the overall event. Phil Soencksen, marketing writer, says an Abraham Lincoln theme was chosen because the event took place on his birthday, Feb. 12.
鈥淭he idea was 鈥榳hat would an advertising agency do back in that time period if they were going to rebrand the president?鈥欌 Soencksen says.
The materials included a presentation, posters, videos, buttons and an Abraham Lincoln presenter to interact with the attendees.
Competitors who won gold awards are automatically entered into the national American Advertising Awards, and silver award winners can enter for a fee. The ceremony, known as Admerica, took place in Anaheim, California, from June 4-7.
