A street-level view of most things marketing, communications and advertising in Idaho
Who killed it in 2018? That’s what the Idaho Falls Advertising Federation wants to know. And it’s also why they’ve issued a call for entries for the Gem Awards.
The Gem Awards recognize outstanding creative throughout eastern Idaho, and all Diamond and Star Garnet award-winning work is automatically forwarded for consideration to the Idaho Advertising Federation’s Rockie Awards.
Full details about the awards and how to enter can be found here.
The 2018 Rockie Awards Show was a raucous and rowdy affair as usual, and good times were had all around.
A few notables from Saturday night’s event:
The Silver Medal Award went to Sherie Moody-St. Clair from the Idaho Lottery
Drake Cooper took home Best of Show for their J. A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation work.
Oliver Russell and Scentsy both won at the regional level as well — a Gold regional ADDY for Oliver Russell and a Silver for Scentsy. Oliver Russell’s submission has since been forwarded to the national competition.
Congratulations to all the winners.
And just like that, another Rockie Awards Show is in the books. Awards were won, merriment was had, and hangovers were almost certainly installed.
Congratulations to all of the winners at last weekend’s show. To see all of the winning work, check out the 2017 Rockie Award Winners site.
It’s that time of year again. The Boise Advertising Federation is accepting entries for this year’s Rockie Awards.
Full details and how to submit your entries are available here.

Jamie Cooper, CEO of Drake Cooper, was the recipient of the 2015 Silver Medal Award from the Idaho Advertising Federation at this year’s Rockie Awards Show.
For those who may have missed it, here’s the video introducing this year’s winner:
Congratulations, Jamie.
Another Rockie Awards show is in the books.
There was food. And drinks. And revelry.
Oh, and awards were handed out, of course. Our friend and occasional contributor Don Day live tweeted some of them:

Drake Cooper took home Best of Show for their Don’t Fail Idaho work on behalf of the J.A. & Kathryn Albertson Foundation.
Art Gregory was recognized with the Silver Medal Award.
Although he was on vacation in Tanzania when it happened, a collective toast was raised to Bill Drake for his lifetime of work in this crazy business we call advertising, and he received a lifetime membership to the Boise Advertising Federation.
All in all, it was a solid show at an outstanding venue. A hearty ‘well done’ to everyone who helped put on the show.
And the show got started with this fantastic piece of work from John Eames and the folks at North by Northwest:
The Rockies are coming up this Saturday, May 10th. Do you have your tickets yet?
If not, get on it. You won’t want to miss it.
