ADDY’S HYPE NIGHT

The 2018 American Advertising Awards are right around the corner which means that it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll submit this year. Fear not! We’re here to help guide you through this process.

Not only will Hype Night provide you with ample inspiration on what to submit but we’ll also be taking any questions you may have about the Addy’s itself – process, dates, judging insights, you name it! In between taking your questions, we’ll dim the lights and whip out the popcorn to watch the national and local Addys Reels from last year.

There will be beers, delicious food, all the Addy’s information you could possibly want, and it’s all for FREE – thanks to our dear friends at Citizen Agency. To make sure we purchase enough food/drink ahead of time, please RSVP to this event!You don’t want to run out of beer, do you?

Taking your questions will be a real live past Addy’s judge – Dale Addy! Questions can be written down at the door and throughout the event.
