Each year the Austin Ad Federation presents the Addy Awards to honor and award some of the most talented and creative advertising campaigns from Austin agencies! And each year, they select one local firm to create and host the event; this year it was oh-so-talented MARKETING MATTERS.
We partnered with the brilliantly talented team of MARKETING MATTERS and the fabulous production team of VELVET CARTEL to create the 2015 Addy Awards. Together we found a balance that was sexy, fun, classy and highly entertaining. The theme was “Own it.” From Amish to Dominatrix, no matter what you choose for your campaign, OWN IT!
Guests arrived to the AUSTIN MUSIC HALL greeted with a red velvet rope and gorgeous lighting, provided by ILIOS LIGHTING. They proceeded to the main hall to view a beautiful display of each ad entry, and enjoyed some sexy and Amish bites provided by CATERING WITH A TWIST. The hors d’oeuvres ranged from chicken and waffles to veggie sushi and were passed by interactive theme dressed servers! In accordance with the theme, the tables, dressed in gorgeous crushed cranberry linens provided by MARQUEE Event Rentals, were decorated with sultry masks and handcuffs for attendees to “enjoy”!
The entertainment for the evening was like no other; during the cocktail hour guests enjoyed interactive Amish and Dominatrix photo booths by BILL PEARY PHOTOGRAPHY. Once the awards production began, the awards rolled smoothly with creative clips and affects, thanks to the awesome NOMAD PRODUCTIONS team. Intermission was a fun surprise with a talented Rap & Dance performance by the Live Amish and Dominatrix talent! To say the least, it was definitely a night to remember for the most accomplished, cutting-edge thinkers in the Austin advertising community, Congratulations to each Addy Award Winner!
The COUTURE DETAILS had an absolute blast planning the 2015 Addy Awards; the event was a huge success and we look forward to seeing what creativity the 2016 Addy Awards will bring!
