ParkerHayden Wins Best of Show at Houston Addys.
Integrated marketing, design and advertising firm, ParkerHayden Advertising and Design, took home a Best of Show award for its Casa Olé “Pinãta” television campaign at the 48th Annual American Advertising Federation (AAF) Houston show Saturday night. The firm was also awarded three Gold awards, one Silver award and two Citation of Excellence awards for its work with the Greater Houston Community Foundation (GHCF), Casa Ole and Mission Burrito.
“Winning a Best of Show award for the Casa Olé television campaign is a bonus considering what these spots have done for our client’s brand,” said Mark Hayden, Principal, ParkerHayden. “These awards are possible because we are blessed with great clients who challenge us and allow us to create memorable work that gets them results.”
Guy Parker, Principal, ParkerHayden, added, “I think the work this year was the best I’ve seen in years. In a down economy, we were expecting more conservative approaches, but just the opposite was true. Being able to earn Gold in these categories is especially gratifying considering who we were up against.”
