Work from Oliver Russell was recognized recently at the Houston Advertising Federation's ADDY Awards Show.
In total, five campaigns that Oliver Russell produced for Hewlett Packard's Personal Systems Group were recognized, including:
The agency has made photos of the work available on their website.
Nation's Restaurant News recently recognized work produced by Stoltz Marketing Group for Simplot Food Group. The piece, a print ad for Simplot's avocado products, was named the highest performing ad for 2008.
The magazine’s ADinsite™ study surveyed readers on twenty ads for recall, believability and both short- and long-term interest in the product advertised. The Simplot ad outperformed efforts by recognizable brands including Heinz, The Beef Council, Idaho Potato Commission, Butterball and Tyson.
A reminder that nominations for the IAF Silver Medal Award are due by Friday, March 27th. Details about the award, and the nomination process, are available on the original post.

Marketing Media Group's Legacy of Leading campaign for the University of Idaho was recognized recently by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. The agency, along with the University, received two Gold Medal CASE Awards at this year's CASE District VIII Conference, held February 18 - 20 in Seattle.
Specifically, MMG and U of I were honored in the Video and Multimedia category (Advertising Spots and Public Service Announcements) for their 60-second television spot titled, “I am more than the University of Idaho,” and also in the Web Site category (Web Site Special Feature) for the university’s innovative degree finder.
North by Northwest handled production of the television, and c308 Marketing developed the website.
The 60-second spot was primarily used at recruiting and alumni events and was part of a television campaign that featured three other 30-second commercials that ran in the Boise and Spokane markets. The Degree Finder Web Site is an addition to the university’s revamped Web Site and features a user-friendly method of matching prospective students’ interests with multiple degree options.
Congratulations to MMG, University of Idaho, and everyone else involved in this campaign. If you'd like to learn more about how it all came to be, MMG also has a Case Study of the entire process available on their website.

Well damn.
I was all ready to tee off on the Boise Advertising Federation for not having any information available about the 2009 Rockie Awards, the submission process, deadlines and such.
And then I went to the Rockie Awards website. Talk about taking the wind out of my sails.
So, since there's no ranting to be done now, here's the skinny:
The Idaho Advertising Federation is now accepting entries for the 2009 Rockie Awards. Entries are due by Sunday, February 8th. All the details, including entry requirements, costs, etc. can be found on the Rockie Awards website.
Oh, and keep Saturday, April 18th open. That's the date for the Rockies Award Show at The Knitting Factory in Boise.

Well, not the mountains. The awards.
The Boise Advertising Federation is looking to redesign the Rockie Awards, and they've opened up the design competition to anyone who's willing to take a swing at it.
There are a few guidelines:

And, as promised, here is the complete list of 2008 Idaho Advertising Federation Rockies Award Winners (PDF format).
Congratulations if you've read all the way to this point. About halfway through I realized that this was going to end up being a very long list. At least it only happens once a year.

Well, once again the Rockies have come and gone this year.
Overall, I'd have to say that the show itself went over very well. The Big Easy (er. soon to be the Knitting Factory) seemed to be a great venue for the show. They took out the majority of the stage to allow for more tables toward the front of the room.
Another nice touch was having helpers to run awards out to the tables themselves. This kept the proceedings moving along, and avoided any awkward stumbling around chairs / tables that might have otherwise happened.
A couple of notes about the award winners:
IAF Silver Medal Award Winner: Michael Ripley of Lewiston.
Drake Cooper, Oliver Russell, and Marketing Media Group were the heavyweights of the night, but it was also nice to see others being recognized, such as Davies Rourke, Foerstel Design, The Agency Creative Network, Donahoe Pace, Rizen Creative and many, many more.
Best of Show, and a number of other awards, went to Noot Group.
Congratulations to all.
In the end, awards were won, hangovers were installed, and everyone appeared to have a good time.

For those who may still be thinking about attending, the Idaho Advertising Federation's Rockies Awards Show is this Saturday, April 12th.
Tables of 8 are completely sold out, but there are still a few spaces available - cocktail-seating style.
The Big Easy is a new venue this year, so it should be interesting to see how the show goes.

For those who may have missed it, the Spokane Advertising Federation's ADDY Awards Show was last Friday. And among the entrants were a number of agencies from Northern Idaho.
And, as Rick Thomas from The Coeur d'Alene Press wrote, "Local ad agencies rake in awards."
Boy did they ever.
Here's a quick run-down:
Salty Design Foundry won 17 Silver ADDYs, 5 Gold ADDYs, as well as Judges Choice and Best in Division.
Blue541 won a total of 14 ADDYs, including a Gold in Industry Self Promotion for their interactive Christmas card.
Range won 5 ADDYs, including 1 Gold.
As soon as I can get my hands on the complete list of winners, I'll be sure to share it with the class.
Congratulations to all of the winners.
