A Blessed Night At the DC ADDYs

A Blessed Evening at the DC ADDYs
The saint smiled upon us at this year's ADDYs indeed!

SmithGifford put in a strong showing at the DC ADDY awards last night taking home 16 awards including best in Broadcast for our Melwood Opportunity spot. St. Bernardine, the patron saint of advertising, PR, and gambling addictions truly did hear our prayers.

On a personal note our Geckos campaign, which I directly worked on, won a silver award in the non-traditional category.

A silver for Geckos!

SmithgGifford was not just an entrant this year either. We concepted and produced the entire event from posters, invites, a microsite and even the show itself. To top it all off we got Father Guido Sarducci to kick off the show, and we even managed to get the saint himself to come be the MC for the evening.
Now enough from me, here are photos from the event:
