Ideabar built 14 websites in 2019, and we are thrilled each time we launch a new site for one for our clients. But nothing could match the thrill we felt on February 20, 2020 at the local competition of the annual American Advertising Awards (“The Addys”), when we walked away with six awards for websites we launched in 2019. Our gold wins from the local competition then advanced to the district level, where we won an additional three awards. Next up: nationals!
Attracting nearly 40,000 professional entries each year nationwide, the American Advertising Awards is among the world’s largest and most comprehensive advertising competitions. Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the awards honor excellence in advertising and cultivate the highest creative standards in the industry.
