University of Miami Strategic Communication students received an impressive 35 awards at this year’s American Advertising Federation of Miami ADDY Awards. This is a record number of Miami ADDYs for the School, with 3 gold and 32 silver awards.

“For many years we have been working on building an award-winning advertising program,” said Sarai Nunez, assistant professor of professional practice. “It’s amazing to see it all coming to fruition, and each year we keep on breaking our previous winning streak, so now it’s time to tackle bigger competitions.”

The AAFMiami ADDY Awards is the first part of the three-tier, national competition aiming to recognize the creative spirit of excellence in advertising. Projects that receive a gold ADDY are automatically entered in the District 4 competition, followed by the national award show at the AAF annual conference.

Last year, the SoC’s very own Chloe Glenn and Hayley Buchholz won ‘Best in Show,’ the top award given at the AAF Nationals, for Necessity, an innovative campaign that tackles menstruation issues and the social stigmas surrounding it.
