For the 15th consecutive year, the Bit-Wizards and TalkingParents team earned Gold and Silver “ADDYs" from the Pensacola Chapter of the American Advertising Federation. The ADDY Awards are the largest and most representative competition in the advertising industry, recognizing and rewarding the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.
For their work in 2024, the team was awarded three Gold and 11 Silver ADDYs, totaling 14 awards. Recognition spanned a variety of categories, including social media, branded content, graphic design, online/interactive campaigns, and specialty advertising. All three Gold and several Silver ADDY Awards have advanced for consideration at the district level, encompassing Florida and the Caribbean.
Winning at the ADDY Awards fills us with pride—not just for the recognition, but for our team’s creativity and dedication. The ADDYs represent the gold standard in our industry, celebrating excellence across marketing and advertising. We’re grateful to the AAF Pensacola Chapter for their work on the local competition and awards gala, the judges’ discernment and expertise, and our fellow entrants whose work continues to inspire our entire profession.
