Last week the Graham Images Team, Morgan Kirchenwitz and I, attended the AAF Fox River 2025 American Advertising Awards at Poplar Hall. This year's theme was “WickAD’',? a play on the Wicked movie which had one of the biggest advertising campaigns of 2024.
Every year this event is one we look forward to! It is always awesome to get to see other creatives in our state and to view all of their favorite work from the past year.
Graham Images was the proud recipient of not one, not two, but THREE ADDY’s this year!
GOLD: Under the Grid for The Boldt Company
SLIVER: Nurturing New Beginnings for Emplify Health
SILVER: Empathy Amplified: Emplify in Focus for Emplify Health
Thanks to The Boldt Company and Emplify Health for having me on for these projects. I’m so thankful for the clients I get to work with, and these two are shining examples of that. A successful photo project requires teamwork and collaboration. For Boldt that includes Ben Gerhards, CPSM who coordinated the shoot for their design team and worked with the jobsite PM to get clearance, Jason Tucker, Safety Manager, who oversees me and the working crew while I’m on site and John Egan, Director of Marketing and Communications, who has worked with me to set the direction of the images that fit Boldt’s brand. For Emplify there were a lot of people that made it a successful shoot, so I’m leaving out a few when I call out the awesome main contacts for the two different locations; Kate Ogren in Green Bay and Matthew Clark in La Crosse. So many moving parts to make these shoots work within a working hospital; scheduling exam rooms with best space/lighting, managing conversations with real patients to be included, working around the intense schedules of doctors. Thank you to these talented people that help make my job easier!
