The 2008 ADDY Awards were a huge success thanks to the dynamic duo: co-chairs Emily Dorr and Lisa Gorham. With the help of an awesome committee, the ADDYs were a fun and entertaining night of creative achievements and social merriment.
Creatives, for the most part, dislike dealing with the nitty-gritty aspects of running their businesses. We want to concentrate on the fun stuff, like choosing paper for a special event package, sketching logo concepts, and brainstorming ad headlines—not picking through contract verbiage. 
Think back to the months before your graduation, the dreams you had, the art you produced and where you are now. Are you where you thought you’d be? Like to start over again? We can’t turn the clock back, but we can help someone else on their journey into the world of visual communication.
Over the years, the world of advertising has experienced economic expansion, endured damaging recessions, and stood by as new media and changing audiences have reshaped the way people view and react to advertising. One of the things remaining constant in this ever-changing society is: great advertising that works. Effective advertising is developed by people who know what to do in our dynamic environment to make it succeed. For this group of people, fundamental advertising elements are essential to their professional, everyday lives.
