Maybe it was because there seemed to be so little to celebrate while we were all experiencing 2009. But, whatever the case, the KC Advertising Community seemed to really have a blast Saturday night.

Our local creative talent is quite a sight to behold when it’s out in full force, all in one place. I feel lucky to be part of a community where the KC ADDY Awards can be proud of the fact that it is the single largest local advertising awards competition in the United States.

And, I’ll admit, I’m exceedingly proud of the recognition my team received.

There are 10 more, with the other bellhop...

In all, B-R received a total of 19 Gold ADDYs, as well as Best of Student ADDY (for a project completed in partnership with University of Kansas); Best of Public Service for Salvation Army and Best of Show for Hostess Cupcakes. Obviously, I’ve featured some of the work on this blog prior.

In addition, we received 29 Silver ADDYs and 18 Bronze.

I’ll be posting more examples of the work as we celebrate with our clients this week!
