Always an honor to judge White River Valley Electric Cooperative’s Youth Tour essay contest. We love being a part of awarding scholarships & a trip to Washington, DC! Congrats to all the finalists- we were so impressed!

ADDY AWARDS SHOWCASE #5: Day Five of ADDYs brings FIVE Silver Addys for White River Connect's first ever commercial campaign. The Campaign was honored in both the Local TV Commercial Campaign category for the 3 TV spots, the Integrated Advertising Campaign for the commercials + social media reels and in the Elements of Advertising category for Cinematography. One of the commercials, “The Teacher,” also brought home two individual awards- for :30 Local Commercial and Art Direction! Link in the comments to watch!

At j+a, we take awards lightly. Don’t get us wrong, we do LOVE winning & shining a spotlight on our clients & crew- but peer-judged awards are very subjective. A project that one group of judges loves today, a different group might just look over the next. And while some videos may be really effective for our clients, sometimes they’re just not the kind of projects that catch a judge’s eye come awards season.
With that being said, last year was a great year for our team- producing the creative work that does bring home the gold! In fact, jackson • appleton shattered our past records at the American Advertising Federation - Heartland ADDY awards this weekend winning a Judge’s Choice Award, 4 GOLD Addys and a whopping 14 Silver ADDYs. We’re completely humbled and honored.
In coming days, we’ll showcase the Client videos that brought home the honors. But for today, we’re going to be clearing off some shelves!
