KMK Media Group, Inc., a full-service advertising agency, won a gold ADDY Award in the ADDY Advertising Awards competition held by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) of Northern Illinois on Thursday, March 4, 2010.
KMK Media Group won the gold ADDY in the Collateral Material category for an Open House invitation they designed for Riverside Community Bank. The invite focused on a “We’re Growing Together” theme and was printed on wildflower-seeded paper that could be planted to grow flowers.
“There were a lot of great submissions and we’re excited to have our work recognized,” says Pam Maher, vice president of KMK Media Group. “Our creativity and commitment to our client helped make this project fun and successful.”
Locally, a three-judge panel awarded six Gold ADDY awards, eight Silver ADDYs, and nine Bronze ADDYs from a selection of 41 entries. Gold ADDY winners from Rockford advance to the AAF District 6 competition to be judged against ADDY winners from other ad clubs in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. District Gold ADDY winners move on to the National ADDY competition, June 6, in Washington D.C.
