Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
No doubt you’ve already been inundated with reminders, but the Rockie Award submissions are due by Friday, January 25th, or with a late deadline of Friday, February 1st if you feel like paying extra…
Rules, requirements, categories, fees and other information is available from the Boise Advertising Federation.
The 2012 Rockie Awards Show came and went last Saturday evening. Awards were won, jokes were told, merriment was had by all, and as best as we can tell, no one left the Egyptian Theatre with any major injuries. Now the Bullwinkles on the other hand…
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, and while we don’t yet have the final list of award winners, I expect that it will be posted on the Boise Advertising Federation’s website soon.
And special congratulations go out to Chuck Christopher of Advantage Adverising, winner of this year’s Silver Medal Award, and Neighborhood All-Stars, whose Story Story Night work took home Best of Show.
Tickets are now on sale for the 2012 Rockie Awards. This year’s show starts at 8:00 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise, following a reception starting at 6:00 at North by Northwest. Immediately following The Rockies, The Bullwinkles — the official after party — kicks off at the Rose Room downtown.
Tickets are available now, but are going fast. Be sure to place your order soon.
Perhaps you’ve been to them in the past. Or you’ve heard rumor about this fabled event. But even if you haven’t experienced the drama and debauchery yet, you’ll soon have your chance:
The Bullwinkles are back.
And their call for nominations is now open. From our friends organizing this year’s Bullwinkles event:
We had a dream. A dream that someday there would be an awards ceremony celebrating the people and organizations that have somehow fallen through the cracks in the Rockies. From these fissures of the forgotten rises the most auspicious awards affair in the history of this celebrated evening: The Bullwinkles.
Nomination Needed for: Your Favorite Media Pro, AE, Back End Programmer, Admin, Rookie Sensation, and charity with the worst marketing. https://www.facebook.com/thebullwinkles
Nominations are being accepted until Friday, April 13th (yes, Friday the 13th – take that for what you will). The entire nomination process is taking place on The Bullwinkles’ Facebook page, so see all of the details there.

The GEM’s 2011 Best of Show and Top 2011 Diamond awards both went to the advertising agency, IE Productions lead by Chad Hammond, in Idaho Falls. The Best of Show campaign ‘Udderly Fantastic’ created for the Eastern Idaho State Fair was also recently crowned number one in a State Fair specific advertising contest.
Congratulations to IE Productions, and all of the GEM Award winners. All Diamond winners were automatically forwarded for inclusion in the Rockie Awards competition, which recently completed its judging.
