The ADDYs recognized the agency's work on behalf of seven different clients—Tampa Bay Lightning, Grow Financial, the State of Florida, CrossBorder Solutions, Harleston Green scotch whisky, the Florida Aquarium, and Smokey Bones restaurants.

"Creating this sort of work, in the face of a pandemic, was more challenging than ever before," said Troy Dunn, President and Chief Creative Officer. "But it was the pandemic itself that caused the challenges that forced us to re-evaulate how our clients' customers were being affected, and resulted in breakthrough work. I couldn't be more proud of my team for digging in and not losing faith in their creativity, even facing formidable barriers this past year."
