Raucous Rockies

For those who may have missed it, the 2023 edition of the Rockies was held earlier this month. After a few years of virtual-to-subdued awards shows, this one felt like a return to something resembling normalcy, if such a thing exists anymore.

There were shenanigans, shameless self promotion, and a lot of ‘show’ to the awards show. A few highlights from the evening:

Duft Watterson took home Best of Show for their Idaho Transportation Department Motorcycle Safety campaign.

Duft Watterson, SOVRN, and Lovevery also won Regional ADDY awards, in addition to their respective Gold Rockies.

Kate Holgate of Stoltz Marketing Group was the recipient of this year’s IAF Silver Medal Award.

Congratulations to everyone who took home hardware at the end of the night. There’s a lot that goes into creating award-winning work, and I have long held the belief — and still do to this day — that the talent in, and the work coming out of the state of Idaho is just as good as what comes of larger, more recognizable places.

Some pictures and video others shared from the evening:

A full list of winners should be available on the Boise Advertising Federation’s website in the near future.

Familiar names among IBR’s 2020 Women of the Year

In December the Idaho Business Review released their list of the 2020 Women of the Year. 50 individuals were recognized out of the 220 nominations and applications, and included those in a wide range of industries and professions, from education and health care to science, government and fine arts.

Among this year’s honorees were a few familiar names in and around the advertising world:

Maria Walker, Drake Cooper

Congratulations go out to these three, and to all of the honorees.

This year’s gala will be held on Wednesday, March 11th at the Boise Centre, where the Idaho Business Review will also name the 2020 Woman of the Year — the overall top winner based on scores from the judges and staff.

The 2020 gala will celebrate women leaders from Salmon to Idaho Falls and Coeur d’Alene to Pocatello who have made their mark as healers, warriors, storytellers, trailblazers and connectors. It will also recognize women from Idaho’s history who have paved the way for leaders of today and will recognize women who are building on that legacy for the future. Tickets are available online, and the full list of honorees can be found on the Idaho Business Review’s site.
