“We are exceptionally proud of this award,” said
Advertus Media President Adam Wright. “Any creative advertising endeavor however begins with the support of the client and a willingness on their part to try something innovative. Westfield State is a perfect example of a client who has a solid vision for the future of their institution and is dedicated to producing high quality marketing materials to reach those goals,” Wright added.

The competition, held by the Advertising Club of Western MA, was the second year that the club has participated in the ADDY® Award Competition, the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition in the country.

The AAF, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is the country’s leading trade association for the advertising industry, and its ADDY Awards recognize creative excellence in advertising on a three-tier basis. The first competition is conducted at the local level, and at the second tier, winners of the local competition compete against other winners in one of 14 district competitions. District winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national ADDY Awards competition, where they compete for gold and silver awards.
