Broudy Partners Win at 2013 Pittsburgh Addy® Awards
Congratulations to Wall-to-Wall Studios and Brunner on their repeat wins at this year’s Pittsburgh Addy® Awards held this past Friday, March 1st at the Carnegie Science Center.
Wall-to-Wall Studios won the Best of Show honors for a single medium campaign called “Silk Scream,” done for an Asian horror film screening at Point Park University in October. Last year, the agency took the prize for work done for the Burgatory restaurant.
Brunner was given the Judges Award of Excellence for the third year in a row, this time for a nontraditional public service campaign trying to raise money for a World War II memorial to honor veterans in southwestern Pennsylvania. The agency used a live model dressed as a soldier and posed him on a granite base as a temporary memorial.
