“We are so very excited to accept a Silver and Gold ADDY Award from the American Advertising Federation. Having made strides in marketing over the past several years, this is certainly a great achievement,” said Abbey Heimensen, MarineMax Director of Marketing.
The American Advertising Awards, formerly the ADDYs, is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local AAF Club competitions. The mission of the American Advertising Awards competition is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising. Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation, the local Ad Club phase is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Selection of the most creative entry in each category is affected by a scoring process in which a panel of judges evaluates all creative dimensions of every entry. A Gold ADDY is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior to all other entries in the category. Entries that are also considered outstanding and worthy of recognition receive a Silver ADDY. The number of awards given in each category is determined by the judges, based on the relative quality of work in that category.
“The other entries were outstanding, and we are all so honored to be amongst the best. This goes to show that there is a bright future for the marketing and advertising industry,” said Heimensen.
