ACE Awards evening recap
This past weekend, we all attended the annual ACE Awards hosted by the Advertising Club of Edmonton. Not only was it a fun evening to relax and recognize all the great creative work in our community, we also had reason to celebrate! We were excited to accept awards for two radio spots we produced for OK Tire, and another for “Most Fearless Client” for the bloodylucky.ca campaign we created for Work Safe Alberta. The latter award was for “a campaign that demonstrates a willingness to stretch boundaries and to take creative risks in an effort to deliver effective communications”. Congratulations to our own – Dennis, Alana and Ryan – for all their time and effort in making the ACE Awards evening a success!
Ryan, Lori and Dennis accept an award for Most Fearless Client and the bloodylucky.ca campaign.
Ad Club President (and our own Associate Creative Director) Dennis Lenarduzzi kick off the evening’s festivities.
Filed under: Awards & RecognitionEdmonton Airport Campaign receives top international honours
RED’s YEG/YES campaign produced for Edmonton Airports to promote non-stop destinations has been honoured at North America’s 2008 Excellence in Marketing & Communications Contest. Besting airport powerhouses such as Chicago O’Hare, LAX, Dallas/Fort Worth, Toronto Pearson, Vancouver, and New York LaGuardia, the campaign won first place in various individual categories that ultimately contributed to the top hardware for the Edmonton Airports, the Peggy G. Hereford Award.
The “YEG/YES” campaign helped change perceptions of the airport and increased direct-to-destination travel volumes. It also turned heads.
The campaign also received a 2008 International Summit Award for consumer multi-media campaign.
