As armchair critics and movie buffs were still gearing up for the culmination of the 2017 awards season, the Memphis chapter of the American Advertising Federation held its own competition to recognize creative excellence.
Every year, AAF Memphis puts out a call for entries to local creative professionals to enter their most inventive, inspiring, and ingenious work of the year. For the 50th annual American Advertising Awards, more than 20 local agencies submitted entries for consideration by a national panel of judges — and inferno brought home a grand total of nine glass pyramids and 13 ribbons, both for our client work and in-house projects.
We’re incredibly thankful for our clients, who keep us inspired to do great work every day. While we measure ourselves by our client’s success, being recognized by our peers makes the job even more rewarding.
