Breaking Personal News!!!

Hello Blog. We meet again.

I have to admit. It’s kinda ridiculous that I’ve completely disappeared from this small community I call a blogosphere. Life kinda happened and I was all over the place. I got some new ideas and I’m planning on sharing them here soon. Happy New Year. 2012 will be amazing.

Might as well face it, we’re Addy’cted to Awards

What a night to be a member of the Pyxl team last Saturday as we ventured out downtown for the 45th Annual Addy Awards, presented by the American Advertising Federation of Knoxville. Just in case you missed the festivities, it was a fun night filled with great music, great food, great friends and great work by very talented agencies in Knoxville.

The main highlight of the evening came when we were announced as a Gold Addy recipient for our website, thinkpyxl.com. What a shock! What surprise! What an accomplishment! Our team is very proud of our site since it’s a major cornerstone establishing Pyxl as a brand new digital company!

Here is the list of awards we were proud to take home:

GOLD

  1. thinkpyxl.com (Business to Business HTML website)

BRONZE

  1. Help Us Name Us Social Media Campaign (Self-Promo, Single Medium Campaign – Web)
  2. Social Media Club Launch Party poster (Print/Collateral Posters)
  3. Pyxl logo (Elements of Advertising – Logos)

As if winning a Gold Addy is not enough excitement, the inner craziness and euphoria prompted half of our team to do shots at the liquor luge at the event as an initial celebratory event. We even caught it on camera (but we have to get releases from the guilty party first).

Even though we only had 4 entries, we were very happy to receive an award nod for all of them. As Pyxl grows, we plan on submitting more entries in the future.

All of the Gold and Silver Addy award winners will go on to compete on the regional level and if successful, will move on to the national Addy Awards show. So congrats to all the other winners, and good luck in the next level.

There were a handful of companies involved in putting together the awards show and Pyxl was in the forefront, spear-heading the Social Media effort to get the word out on up-coming AdFed events. We even set-up a live stream site to be seen by all at the banquet. It was great to see people’s interaction online as awards were mentioned and the crowd’s random musings throughout the evening. Also, one thing that I enjoyed is the camaraderie between fellow designers and other people in the industry.

Overall, we are very pleased at the outcome and look forward to another year of creating beautiful design and marketing projects for our clients.

SMC Knoxville Launch Party

LaunchPartyPosterYou (people from Knoxville or surrounding areas) are invited to the SMC Knoxville Launch Party on Tuesday, July 21st.

I decided to take the low budget promotion a littler further by making an poster filled with random selection of imagery that still reflect our thoughts on social media.

You can find out more details at the SMC Knoxville site. And of course this public message was brought to you by yours truly, Pyxl and the people at Mashable.
