Advertise in the Milwaukee 99 Awards Book

It is gaining momentum as one of the top award show books in the Midwest. Last year, requests for the Milwaukee 99 Showcase came from such places as Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Seattle and Dallas to name a few.
Thousands of influential advertising and design professionals, marketing executives and various suppliers from around the country will use this resource for years to come. And this is your chance to advertise your company’s wares for all to see.

Are you ready for the premier creative award show in Wisconsin? That’s right, this is it. It all takes place September 16th at the Harley Museum. It is THE event of the year. There simply is no reason to miss it. In fact there are 99 reasons to go to the 99, we just don’t have time to list them all here. We do know, however, that the reasons include:

• The ability to rewrite an award winning headline in your head, and keep it to yourself
• You will be able to have discussions with your peers about the meaning of “Inception”
• Freelancers will routinely get the chance to say “Yeah, friend me on Facebook”
• Students get the opportunity to mingle with future co-workers they will grow to strangely dislike
• Someone who calls himself “The President” will give a speech without a powerpoint!
• and of course, the best reason: The booze

So join us, reserve a table and hang out. It’s pomp without the circumstance.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Milwaukee 99!

Click here to pay for tickets online.

You can also pay for tickets by check or faxing your credit card.

I hope those of you who attended liked what you saw. We had a great turnout, and from the looks of the bar bill, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. What’s more, the entire 99 was comprised of a wide range of advertising agencies and design firms. I read this as an increase in competition—great work is coming out of more and more places in this town and that’s a good thing. Take a look for yourself. In the previous post are a list of the Milwaukee 99 and the the Best In Show winner. But I encourage you to contact Heidi or me to get your hands on a copy of the show book. It includes the work, as well as the people behind it. For a mere $10 (plus shipping) you’ll not only have all the work in easy-to-follow book form, you’ll also have a list of the creative directors to whom you may want to send your books. Or if you are a creative director, a list of talent you may want to try to steal—which I do not encourage or condone.

Thank you all for a fantastic show. After all, you provide the content. We merely put it together.

One last thing, if you were not in attendance, I would like to reiterate my thanks to the following people who all helped make the evening a success:

• Special thanks to the folks at Purple Onion (Steve Farr, Andy Gorzalski and Jack Davidson) for shooting our announcement video and the show’s opening.
• John Elmendorf, Eric Arsnow at Civilian Edit, for editing the videos as well as animator Dave Myszewski.
• Bob Donnelly and North American Camera for the use of his camera equipment.
• David Conner and John Tanner at Tanner Monagle for audio sweetening and original music.
• Freelance Producer Michael Joyce for lending his production talents to the videos.
• Steve Comeau at Splice for recording, editing and mixing
• Brian Mitchell, our wonderful voice talent on the evening’s 99 presentation.
• At GS design, Steve Radtke and Jodi Jozwowski and Alison Ban for putting the book together (still for sale for a mere $10! Just contact us!)
• Brian Malloy of Malloy photography for shooting the cover art and page dividers.
• Jeff Ericksen, Sean Holpher, and Jordan Hart for at C-K for their “I Promise” concept, posters and videos.

And of course, Heidi Sterricker. You have no idea how much she puts into not only the show, but all our Adworker events. Her dedication is beyond remarkable and her commitment to the club is downright inspirational. She never ceases to amaze me and it has been nothing short of a pleasure working with her. I’m extremely proud of the work she has accomplished and even prouder to call her my friend. Thank you for all that you do, Heidi.
