Greetings,
Wow, this year is off to a flying start. Hard to believe January has already come and gone (hope everyone is having great luck with their resolutions.) Also, I can't believe the ADDY Gala is a little over a month away! We've heard from so many of you about how great the Duce was last year, so we decided to do a repeat and hold gala there again. The ADDYs is always a sell out event, so don't hesitate to reserve your tickets ASAP.
Entrants will be notified very soon if their entries took home ADDY Gold, Silver or Bronze. Even if you're not a big winner, we look forward to still seeing you there. Come celebrate with other members of the ad community, give props where props are due, see old friends (make new ones) and have lots of fun!. As usual, the work entered rocked! Special thanks to our judges, the Art Institute of Phoenix and awesome volunteers.
Also, if you have a nominee for the Annual Creative Director of the Year Award, don't hesitate to submit your nomination(s) and give them the credit they deserve.
Finally, hope you like the new format of our newsletter. If you have any news to share or would like to contribute, please send your submissions to news@aafmetrophoenix.com for inclusion in upcoming editions.
Cheers,
Mark Anthony Munoz
Phoenix Ad Club President
