EGM gets the GOLD

Since the early 1900’s, the American Advertising Federation (AAF) has been unifying the voice of advertising and connecting professionals across the nation.

In 2016, Evergreen Media entered into our local chapter’s American Advertising Awards — one of the industry’s largest creative competitions, attracting nearly 35,000 professional and student entries each year across the country. We walked away with a Silver for an external client project and knew we would be back.

This year, we are honored to announce Evergreen Media has won both a Gold and Silver ADDY for two client projects we’ve had the opportunity working on this past year.

Entries that receive the coveted Gold ADDY for being recognized as the highest level of creative excellence are automatically forwarded onto the next tier of the competition. Follow along on Facebook as we hear more details!

ASCENT INNOVATION CAMPAIGN – SILVER

This Integrated Branding Campaign was such an exciting opportunity for Evergreen Media to stretch our creative muscles. Coming to us as the Black Hills Business Development Center, our team – along with insight from board members and community leaders – developed the name Ascent Innovation to encompass all that is, and will be happening with the incubator.

For this project, we were able to develop a full logo design and brand identity, as well as the business collateral needed for daily operations and function – from business cards and letterhead to building signage and parking signs. Custom photography was set up and shot of multiple industry tenants housed at the Center and a custom-tailored website was built to boast an array of information.

Ascent Innovation is expanding from the SDSM&T Campus to E. Main Street, so promotional materials were at the top of our list to develop. Rack cards, lobby screens, banners and exhibition materials, as well as promotional items were created to help tell the Center’s story. In addition, presentation decks with an imbedded custom video were created to accompany a custom-built printed presentation folder to spread the word and mission of Ascent Innovation.
