A Sticky Situation

What began as a normal weekend quickly evolved into an extraordinary payoff for some work I'd done in the past. In one of my previous posts, I'd mentioned the WD-40 commercial I was fortunate enough to direct and produce. A few weeks ago, we got a call telling us that we had been nominated for an Addy, which is an award in advertising. It begins on a state level and if it wins, it gets forwarded to the regional level, then the national level. This weekend was the gala for the Utah level competition. We went as a group with high hopes of winning a Gold Addy. As the awards show went on, we finally arrived the our section. And we won gold! We were thrilled. Before the excitement had worn off, we came to the Best of Show awards. Much to our surprise, we won that too! The trophy was a golden dog bone for being the "top dogs." We were so stoked! We continued with the awards and the judges began handing out ballots for the Audience Choice award. We filled out our ballots and waited for the results. We couldn't believe it when they called out our project again! We swept the competition! The trophy for this award was pretty incredible. For the next year, we're the official keepers of an official WWF champion belt, signed by Brett "The Hit Man" Heart, a WWF wrestler. It was ridiculous, insane and so random. Here's a picture of our bounty. I'll also include a link below so you can view the commercial if you haven't had the chance to already.

Good things come to those who work hard!
