What is an ADDY Award?
The American Advertising Awards is the advertising industry's largest and most representative competition, attracting nearly 35,000 entries every year in local American Ad Federation (AAF) competitions. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.
Conducted annually by the AAF, the local tier is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, across the country, local entrants vie to receive an ADDY Award giving them the recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local ADDY winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards.
The Winning Teams
In 2019 the Bit-Wizards Digital Marketing team launched an effort to grow their team, client base, and scale their services to meet their customer's demands to grow their businesses. This effort to build a strong, talented, and capable team paid off at this year's local American Advertising Competition in Pensacola, Florida.
I am so grateful to get to work alongside these smart, talented, and tenacious people each day. It is my joy and honor to enable them to produce excellent work. I have never been more excited to share in the success of a team nor more inspired to do my best work!
Candie Mitchell, Director of Digital Marketing
This year, the team won three Gold and eight Silver ADDYs. Along with the digital marketing team's wins, the Bit-Wizards Software Engineering team also won a Gold ADDY for their work on the Anheuser-Busch project for Sella Artois. These new ADDY's bring the total wins for the Bit-Wizards team to 60 for the last 11 years. Read about previous year wins:
