Awards. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here to stay.
So last night I went to my first ever ADDY Awards. For those of you around the world who dunno what the ADDY's are, they're the world's biggest ad awards, and there are various chapters around the country. Anyway, last night New Mexico held theirs.
Nice little theme, some decent work, maybe two campaigns that popped out and screamed, "PICK ME, PICK ME!" Lo & behold, both were picked. And the agency I am out here freelancing with picked up Best of Show. Nice work guys (and gals).
I was surprised to see so many people. I didn't realize New Mexico had that many people working in the industry here. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.
I don't have any ADDY's - yet! But I intend to get a few. Some good ones. The shiny ones. Ones that blind other people when they look, and trust me, they look. They stare. They get filled with envy. Resumes start being sent out, salary increases start being requested. Egos become inflated - and some, well, they just whizzzzzz, fizzle out. Ah, awards. Gotta love 'em.
