AAF Silver Medal Award Winner: Russ Stoddard

At Saturday night’s Rockies Award Show, Russ Stoddard, Founder and President of Oliver Russell, was awarded the AAF Silver Medal from the Idaho Advertising Federation.

Russ, who founded Oliver Russell in 1991, was recognized for his tireless efforts in the marketing and advertising industry, as well as his dedication to giving back to the community through the agency’s O-pen Purse initiative.  That initiative has, to date, given back over $1.2 million dollars in financial and in-kind support to deserving charities throughout the area.

Russ, in his typical laid-back style, was quick to point out that much of the success that he’s had over the years was due to the incredibly talented people that he’s had the fortune to work with over the years.  He kept his speech brief, but congratulations seemed to be flowing throughout the night.

It was a well-deserved recognition, and an excellent choice by the Silver Medal Committee.

Congratulations Russ.

Do You Have What it Takes to be Ad Age’s Small Agency of the Year?

smallagencyawardsAdvertising Age, which freely admits that they follow the money in their coverage of the marketing and advertising world, is now on the lookout for the Small Agency of the Year.

What does that mean, exactly?  Well, from their website:

The aim of the awards is to try to uncover the best small agencies both in the U.S. (those agencies with fewer than 75 employees) and overseas (those agencies with fewer than 50 employees).

We are charging $150 per entry. Every shop that meets the size requirement is eligible, regardless of marketing discipline. And we’re not splitting this into categories by medium — we’re far more interested in finding the best ideas that did the most to move business.

There will be two categories: Best Small Agency and Best Small Agency Campaign.  Ad Age will recognize a U.S. and International winner for each, as well as finalists for both categories.  Profiles of the winning agencies will be published both in print and online on July 27th.

Cost to enter is $150 per entry.  If you think you’ve got the goods, the entry deadline is May 22nd.
