Ever wanted a “do-over” following a client meeting? 
Ever felt like your new business pitch was a screwball?

Truthfully, one of the most difficult tasks we face in the advertising industry is communicating successfully withour clients and prospects.  Over time, a failure to understand the basic motivations behind the communication styles ofothers can be devastating. There’s hope. With just a little information and effort, violent waves on the sea of miscommunication can take a tranquil turn. 

The results: improved understanding, attitudes, atmosphere, performance and profitability.  Our guide is Kent Dean. current President of AAF – Fort Worth.

You’ve heard of the ADDYs. You’ve entered the ADDYs. You’ve been to the ADDYs. You’ve won ADDYs. Now YOU can judge the ADDYs.

We’re looking for 24 creative people from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to help judge the District’s Small Club Judging. In the tenth District we help small clubs that have fewer than 200 entries by providing a location and judges to judge their entries. We need Creative Directors, Art Directors, Copywriters, Broadcast and Web Designers to volunteer for 4 hours to see the other side of the ADDYs.

Clampitt Paper has graciously offered their facility for the judging. Judging will take place on Saturday, February 2, 2008. Four clubs will be judged in the morning and four in the afternoon.

This is a lot of fun, can be very inspirational (you’d be amazed at some of the work these small clubs do), and is a great chance to see the ADDYs from the inside.
