December Update I Your Club. Your News.

Dec 4, 2020

Dear AAF-Louisville Members & Friends,

It’s hard to believe 2020 is coming to a close – and we can barely contain our excitement! On top of the hope of a fresh start with the new year, December also brings the start of the American Advertising Awards season.

The awards allow us to showcase the incredible work being done in Louisville, not just to our city but to the entire country. Winning an ADDY here means your work goes on to compete with creative from cities like Cinncinati and Cleveland, and when it wins (because we know it will!), it moves on to the national stage.

But the American Advertising Awards IS about more than winning… It is also the one time a year where our local industry celebrates each other and the entire Louisville advertising community.

If you have never entered, or even if you enter every year, you should check out the article written by our VP Emily Tucker – Why You Should Enter the American Advertising Awards

We are looking forward to seeing the great work you created in 2020, and stay tuned for the details on the awesome virtual celebration our committee has planned!

Warm Regards,

Allison Deely
AAF-Louisville Executive Director

2020-2021 VP, AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARDS
EMILY TUCKER

We are excited to introduce our 2020-2021 VP of the American Advertising Awards, Emily Tucker, Senior Director of Brand Marketing for 21c Museum Hotels!

Emily is in her third year (yeah, you read that right…THIRD) leading the first tier of the American Advertising Awards for AAF-Louisville. Emily is also a rockstar project manager and experience maker! If you have been to a 21c Hotel, then you understand how she helps create unforgettable experiences in her day job. We can’t wait to see what Emily and her team have planned for this year’s virtual awards show experience!

But before we can hand out any awards, you have to enter! If you are on the fence about entering your work for the 2020-2021 competition, check out Emily’s article on why you should enter the American Advertising Awards.
