Highlighted by a Gold Telly, an American Advertising Federation (AAF) District 7 Gold ADDY, and a Mosaic award from AAF-BR, the 2026 award season was a time to reflect on amazing client relationships and the opportunities they give us to create work that makes a difference.
This year, we were recognized with 10 ADDY Awards including a District 7 Gold, 8 Telly Awards including a Gold Telly for a mental health series we produced with LSU, and our client the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles took home an AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) Award for a R6-produced anti-human trafficking public awareness campaign.
Another year of creating strategic, imaginative work that exceeds expectations? Now that’s SIXY.
