Creative Class of 2011 Has “Brought It!”

American Advertising Federation-Corpus Christi Chapter holding ADDY Awards presentation, dinner and after party at Corpus Christi Country Club on Feb. 11; AAF-CC also introducing new Big Wigs program during event


It’s a homecoming of sorts, so break out the letterman jackets, cheerleading skirts, pom poms and mum corsages. On Saturday, Feb. 11, the American Advertising Federation-Corpus Christi (AAF-CC) Chapter will announce and celebrate winners of the 2011 ADDY Awards competition, “Bring It Creative Class of 2011.” The chapter invites to the event anyone wanting to see who’s “best of the best” working among the Coastal Bend area’s advertising industry.


Last fall, AAF-CC challenged the creative community with “Can you represent?” They did.


Competitors submitted 143 entries among the 77 available categories to “represent” local creative excellence in the art of advertising. This level of competition represents the first of three tiers that can take winners all the way through district competition to the top––the national American Advertising Federation ADDY Awards.


This year, AAF-CC also added a new program to the competition line-up, “Big Wigs Corpus Christi,” which allowed chapter members to nominate local service professionals and companies within 20 categories to receive special recognition for their excellent work for the advertising industry. In truth, without them, the industry couldn’t get much done.


As the inaugural class, AAF-CC will announce the 20 “Big Wigs” during the Feb. 11 event.


Dust off your homecoming gear (or business casual is alright, too), “Bring It!” and join AAF-CC for this year’s ADDY Awards at the Corpus Christi Country Club, located at 6300 Everhart. Activities begin at 6 p.m. with the awards presentation and dinner with an after party at the same location scheduled from 9 to 11 p.m. A cash bar will be available. The event also will feature a silent auction and special raffle.


Ticket sales are currently underway and are $50 for individuals, starting at $500 for tables and starting at $1,000 for sponsorships. This year’s title sponsor is La Palmera's Palmedia Advertising Program.


Deadline to reserve tickets is Feb. 8.
