The 2008 ADDY Awards Celebration was held on Thursday March 6th at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For one majestic night, more than 600 of the region’s advertising “Who’s Who” came out to recognize the creative and ingenious talent within the industry.
The entrants of this year’s competition included advertising/interactive agencies, specialty firms, film/broadcast houses and design/photography. The entries were exceptional with such high quality that it was difficult for the panel of distinguished judges to choose the best creative executions.
This year, Neiman Group was the lead ADDY winner with 10 gold and 13 silver awards. In second place was One Trick Pony with 10 gold and 4 silver. Other big winners of the night included: Paragraph, Inc.

In the “Best of” category, the awards went to Holton Sentivan + Gury for Best of Show, One Trick Pony for Best of Interactive, Salt & Pepper for Best of TV, and Paragraph, Inc., for Best of Arts and Science. One Trick Pony and Brownstein Group each won two “Best of” with One Trick Pony winning Best of Interactive and Best of Sales Promotion, and Brownstein Group for Best of Print and Best of Public Service.
