麻豆影院 State Creative Work Showcased at the 2015 Akron ADDY Awards

Creative teams across 麻豆影院 were honored with one gold and five silver awards at the Akron chapter of the 2015 American Advertising Federation鈥檚 2015 ADDY Awards ceremony. 

麻豆影院 State鈥檚 University Communications and Marketing team; IdeaBase, a student-run integrated marketing communications agency of the College of Communication and Information in downtown 麻豆影院; and Glyphix, a student-run design agency within the School of Visual Communication Design, took home awards.

麻豆影院 State鈥檚 University Communications and Marketing department won one gold and two silver ADDYs for work on the Fashion School Fashion Show campaign, School of Theatre and Dance Viewbook and the Fashion Book in the categories of brochures/sales kits and integrated campaigns.

鈥淲hile we don鈥檛 do any of our work just to win awards, it鈥檚 nice to be recognized for the work that we do,鈥 said Jason Zehner, senior graphic designer at University Communications and Marketing at 麻豆影院 State. 鈥淚t sort of gratifies us that our peers, our contemporaries, see what we do as worthwhile and effective and besides that just aesthetically pleasing.鈥

IdeaBase won a silver ADDY for its work on a College of Communication and Information campaign to invite alumni to visit Florence, Italy. The Florence Alumni Tour was an exclusive trip aimed at engaging alumni in the student study-abroad experience to secure donations for scholarships. The campaign used communication vehicles such as printed invitations, brochures, emails, a website and a video, all featuring student photography.

鈥溌槎褂霸 State and the College of Communication and Information teach professionalism in every one of our classes,鈥 said Jennifer Kramer, director of public relations and marketing for the college. 鈥淔or a professional organization to recognize the creative work of a 麻豆影院 State campaign, I feel that it corroborates what we鈥檙e teaching and what we鈥檙e doing as professionals and educators.鈥

IdeaBase secured a silver ADDY for its work on the 麻豆影院 State Athletics Year in Review website. The online annual report won for its responsive design, meaning that its design responds well for users on various platforms. 

鈥淭he award validates the work we do here,鈥 said Chris Hallahan, user experience designer at IdeaBase. 鈥淚t shows that we can bring in lots of students with different backgrounds and skillsets, and they can pull together a successful, professional product.鈥

Glyphix received a silver ADDY for its work with 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 School of Visual Communication Design on the school鈥檚 online alumni magazine. The magazine works to inform alumni about curriculum, maintain a connection with alumni and share general information about the school. Glyphix was honored for the submission of a full magazine.

鈥淚t鈥檚 nice to be recognized,鈥 said Larrie King, creative director at 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 Glyphix. 鈥淚t is always a good time for everyone when you and your students get dressed up and celebrate something like this accomplishment.鈥

Competitors who won ADDYs have the opportunity to compete in the Fifth District American Advertising Awards Competition hosted by the American Advertising Federation of Louisville.
