Congratulations to all ADDY winners

Several media companies and marketing businesses were represented in this year's ADDY awards, put on by the Tri-State Advertising and Marketing Professionals group.

More than 120 print, interactive, broadcast and multimedia projects were considered, including those from organizations in Kentucky and Illinois.

The Wright Group of Cape Girardeau won the Best of Show in print and had its owner, Johnathan Wright, recognized as the Silver Medal Award, which for many decades has honored one individual for his or her outstanding contributions to the advertising and marketing professions.

Red Letter Communications won Best of Show for multimedia/broadcast and the Judges' Choice award; Saint Francis Medical Center and the Roberts Group were awarded Best of Show in the digital/interactive division for the hospital's website redesign.

In all, 13 gold, 23 silver and 20 bronze awards were given to various businesses, including rustmedia, a marketing division of the Southeast Missourian.

Congratulations to all the winners. Some will go on to compete in national competition. Good luck!
