Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
Just in case you missed it, Saturday night was the Rockies — the Idaho Advertising Federation’s Awards Show. And mixed in between the celebration, laughter, discussions and libations, the awards were presented!
The next series of posts will feature the winners of awards in each of the categories. By breaking it out this way, it won’t (hopefully) become one long laundry list of names.
Stay tuned. More details and winners around the bend.
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.
Don’t forget, the 2009 Rockie Awards Show is coming up this Saturday, April 18th. Word is there is still seating available, if you’ve been debating about whether or not you want to go.
And, if you’ve already RSVP’d, we’ll see you there. Odds are I’ll be at one of the tables near the bar, so feel free to stop by and say hi.
