Launch wins big at the 2010 Dallas ADDYs Awards

A table of Launch Agency staffers, along with Park Place Marketing Director Rob Sumner, attended the Dallas Ad League’s 2010 Addy Awards, hoping to bring home plenty of trophies, just like we did in 2009. The Addy Awards recognize excellence in advertising across a variety of categories, and Launch proudly took home seven awards for our work over the past year.

Our first two wins of the night were for Park Place’s smart center Dallas/Fort Worth. The smart “Fit In Anywhere” TV spot took silver in the Local Television category, and the animated smart holiday email/screensaver took gold in the Interactive Media category.

In the category of Public Service, Launch cleaned up with five wins. The “Warning Signs” poster campaign for The Voice Foundation won four individual awards (a gold, two silvers and a bronze), along with a silver for the entire campaign.
