Continued Success at the District ADDYs.

At the 8th District ADDY® Awards Show last week, Adventure Advertising & Adventure Studios took home three ADDYs (one Gold and two Silvers).

The Gold ADDY went to Adventure Studios for “Red Bull Skate Athletes,” a photo series of professional skateboarders on Red Bull’s team. Adventure Studios also earned a Silver award for “Red Bull Skate Action” photography. Another Silver ADDY went to Adventure Advertising for a “Fall/Winter Photo Solutions” catalog done for Creative Memories.

Winning in the 8th District means going up against the best work produced in 2011 from top agencies in Minnesota, North & South Dakota and Wisconsin. It’s a very competitive market, so we’re thrilled about capturing three pieces of hardware.

Winning ADDYs at the District level is the second step in competing for National ADDYs against more than 1,500 national finalists. An illustrious judging panel will choose winners from across the country on May 4-5. The National ADDY Awards Show will be held in Austin, TX on June 5, 2012 in conjunction with the AAF National Conference.

Rage Broadheads Debuts New Products and a Bold New Look.

At the 2012 ATA archery trade show, industry leader Rage Outdoors had a lot to talk about. For starters, they unveiled three new broadhead designs and an innovative arrow quiver – all destined to take the archery world by storm.

To support the product launch, Rage turned to Adventure Advertising to produce a wide range of display and collateral pieces. This included the tradeshow booth design, eye-catching point of sale displays, new packaging for their X-TREME model broadhead and a bold 2012 product catalog. Given the high traffic and incremental business generated at ATA, everything seemed to hit its mark with impact.

3-D Sheets to the Wind.

If you can picture it, we can make it reality. Case in point: with Adventure Studios on the road and a brewing editor’s photo deadline looming, one of our designers virtually took matters into his own hands.

He created these Brainerd Lakes Beer images digitally without any existing photography assets. You’d swear a camera took these shots. We met the deadline and secured some good press on OhBeautifulBeer.com.

We can do the same kind of digital renderings for your new product designs, packaging, graphics or anything you can think of. No sweat – unless of course you want sweat.
