Congratulations Quisenberry Marketing & Design!
Quisenberry
Marketing & Design, a full-service advertising, interactive and
public relations agency with offices in Spokane and Seattle, has been
awarded a 2009 National Gold ADDY for its work on the 2008 URM Annual
Report.
With over 60,000 entries annually on the local and national levels, the ADDY Awards are the world's largest and arguably toughest advertising competition sponsored by The American Advertising Federation.
In order to reach and compete at the national level of judging, the creative must go through prior judging at both the local and district levels, which includes entries from Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. The ADDY Awards is the only creative awards program administered by the advertising industry for the industry.
Coleen Quisenberry, President, Quisenberry Marketing and Design shares, “It feels like we just won the Triple Crown of Advertising Awards. You have to win at all three levels in order to win a national ADDY. Seeing your name up there with huge agencies like Leo Burnett, BBDO and Ogilvy was fantastic, but winning “Gold” was the ultimate icing on the cake! I am so proud of Eric Miller, Teresa Meyer and Carl Heidle for their outstanding creative work.”
More information on the ADDY Awards can be found at the awards show’s national website www.addycompetition.com.
The National Gold ADDY is just the latest national award garnered by the agency. Previously this spring, Quisenberry was honored with one silver and two bronze 2009 National Telly Awards.
