WHAT ARE THE ADDYS?The ADDYs is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition,

attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local American Advertising Federation Club (Ad Club)

competitions. The mission of the ADDYs competition is to recognize and reward the creative spirit

of excellence in the art of advertising. The 2017 ADDYs were held at Haven on February 24 to

recognize the best work, by both professionals and students, in the Birmingham area.

Raised in Tacoma, Art Chantry

worked in Seattle for nearly

30 years. During that time he

managed to produce a body of

work that, however unorthodox,

still rivals some of the best

graphic design in the world. He

has won hundreds of design and

advertising awards, including a

bronze lion at Cannes, and the

Poster Laureate of the Colorado

International Invitational Poster

Exposition. His work has been

collected and exhibited by some of

the most prestigious museums and

galleries in the world: the Louvre,

The Smithsonian, The Library of

Congress and the Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame to name a few.

John is a freelance copywriter

and content strategist based in

Atlanta. A former CD at BBDO

and Ogilvy, John worked on the

famous “Raising The Bar” campaign

for AT&T and has garnered

National Addys for Barnfly, Georgia

Lottery and Zoosk. His work has

also been recognized in One Show,

BEST OF SHOW - GRAPICO, O2IDEAS

Buffalo Rock was born in the south 100 years ago and continues of be a Southern classic today. To celebrate the 100th birthday of this iconic Southern soda, o2 launched a campaign built around the idea that Grapico truly is “a Southern thing.” The campaign started with a complete redesign of Grapico’s cans, bottles and packaging. The new look stayed true to Grapico’s past and distinguished itself from other beverages on the shelves. From there, we took the “southern thing” idea to print ads, outdoor, online ads, social and a new website. The initiative resonated with those who grew up with Grapico, while introducing the brand to a new generation of Grapico fans.
