ABOUT THE AWARD
The American Advertising Awards (ADDYs), is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local AAF Club (AdClub) competitions. The mission of the American Advertising Awards competition is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising. Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the local AdClub phase is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie to win ADDY Awards–recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local ADDY winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards. Entry in your local AdClub competition is the first step toward winning a national ADDY. Entering the American Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry, because the AAF and its local and district affiliates use the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness. Selection of the most creative entry in a category is affected by a scoring process in which a panel of judges evaluates all creative dimensions of every entry. A Gold ADDY is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior to all other entries.

SILVER MEDAL AWARD
The American Advertising Federation’s Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Annually, AAF member clubs bestow this honor upon outstanding members of the local advertising community. For many local clubs, awarding the AAF Silver Medal is the highlight of their year. It enhances the image of advertising by recognizing a locally well-known person for their advertising and community involvement. Candidates are nominated by AAF Toledo members and the recipient is selected by a panel of judges made up of the three previous winners. Criteria

For 35 years, Kimberly McBroom has been a strategic thinker and collaborative leader throughout the Toledo region. She has directed marketing communications in a multitude of industries including higher education, health care, energy, entertainment, and media with success following her at every stop along her career. After graduating from the University of Toledo, Kim started her career as a reporter at The Blade. She became interested in public relations and soon joined The Andersons, working in PR and marketing communications. She worked at The Andersons again, later in her career, where she connected the company with Disney to advance marketing for a new consumer product in the Lawn Fertilizer Division. She then moved into the health care world at Flower Hospital (where she also worked two times), crafting and delivering messaging that helped lift the hospital’s profile in Northwest Ohio.

Kim then moved into social service, where she successfully passed two levies for the Lucas County Children Services Board and founded the development arm of that organization. Her next challenge came as External Relations Manager at Sunoco MidAmerica, where she integrated communications and was instrumental in building the company’s image across a five-state region, as well as taking on Government Relations. An even larger challenge awaited Kim in the position of Chief Communications Officer, Associate Vice President-University Advancement, and Director of Marketing Communications at Bowling Green State University. Here, she created and

operationalized a strategic direction for marketing and communications that put BGSU on the map and resulted in huge increases in enrollment and an improvement in the quality and variety of applicants. In addition, Kim’s efforts in development assisted in the success of the first major campaign to exceed targeted revenue in BGSU history. Kim then became Chief Marketing Officer for the Toledo Mud Hens and Toledo Walleye sports teams, implementing marketing programs that integrated virtually all areas in the organizations. Record-setting ticket sales and long-standing corporate partnerships followed, as did the development of the popular Hensville Entertainment District. Kim is currently the Director of Sales and Marketing for Bionix, a medical device company. In this role, she is setting clear objectives and messaging for each product line, implementing global strategic growth initiatives, and building relationships throughout the company to ensure its long-standing success. Across all her professional stops, Kim has stayed committed to giving back to the community. Beyond being the proud cofounder of the Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure, Kim has sat on the boards of several key area organizations, including The Jamie Farr LPGA Tournament, the Toledo Ballet, AAA of Northwest Ohio and Downtown Toledo and Regional Arts/Warehouse District Development and the Toledo Region Branding Initiative. Kim has also been a member of the Advertising Club of Toledo, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, Public Relations Society of America, and Women in Communications. Kim has been recognized with more than 100 marketing and communications awards, including local and regional ADDY Awards and numerous Telly Awards, as well as industry awards from the American Hospital Association, the Ohio Hospital Association, CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) and the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League).

S.U.E. DIRECT MAIL CAMPAIGN 2021 The purpose of the Single User Experience (S.U.E.) Direct mail campaign was to touch on the pain points expressed by countless marketing admins. Each piece needed to be unique and something to catch the attention of the recipients. We used packaging from bubble mailers, to puzzle boxes, and even Nintendo Switch cases. We made it interactive and inlcuded a QR code on each mailing directing them to our website.

BRENDA CORTÉS Brenda Cortés doesn’t easily fit into one of the buckets that tend to define people in this industry. And she doesn’t really believe in that mentality anyway. While her business card says Senior Producer, she is so much more than that. And as a first-generation Mexican American, she’s proud to be creating her own legacy and identity, on her own terms. Brenda came to The Distillery Project from Leo Burnett & LAPIZ, bringing her big agency experience to grow TDP’s production group. She brings a unique perspective to every project and hopes to inspire other young Hispanic and Latinx creatives that they too can find and share their voices anywhere—not just within multicultural marketing agencies. During her time at TDP, she has produced work for Fortune 500 companies like Caterpillar, Arrow Electronics, as well as family-owned businesses and local startups. And she gives her all to every assignment, from creative conception to the final edit. She produced 52 original pieces of content within her first year—a record for the agency. Brenda is exceptional because of her empathy and her ability to grow and nurture relationships. Within a year at TDP, she was entrusted with the role of lead producer for the agency’s biggest client, Meijer. She produces work that shows instead of tells, which speaks volumes to her attention to detail. Brenda’s drive for success, her empathetic approach, and genuine care for every member of the team adds so much to the overall culture of Distillery. Quite simply, she embodies the best of who we are as people and professionals.

JOHN TOPACIO Before John Topacio majored in advertising at Michigan State, he was premed— for a week. However, he was able to fuse his initial passion with his current one at Evoke/San Francisco where he is a copy supervisor working on Bristol Myers Squibb and Coherus. Prior to venturing to the healthcare side of the ad world, John held freelance and full-time roles at general-market agencies such as Campbell-Ewald, Doner, Euro RSCG, FCB, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Leo Burnett and Organic. He worked on practically every vertical and project type you can think of, including Super Bowl briefs. The latter was actually his first assignment after graduating from the VCU Brandcenter and is still trying to recover from the experience. Even though his day job is hectic, John still finds time to compete in endurance events, such as Ironman Wisconsin and the Antarctic Ice Marathon. He’s currently trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and finish a marathon on every continent and the North Pole. John judged more than 10 local ADDY competitions and will be a judge at the national level of the 2022 American Advertising Awards.
