Thanks to our friend, Don Cudney, we were able to share a little of the behind the scenes. We will be releasing some of the insights from the judges as we get ready for the Show in September. Keep an eye out and a mouse click away.

Chase Jarvis Reminder

A couple times each year I tear myself away from making stuff and blowing it and getting run over by cars for long enough to do a couple keynote talks. One of those times is this Friday in Denver. Open to the general public. Focus is on creativity.

What: Chase Jarvis Keynote Address
Date: Friday, June 12
Time: 6pm gather, 7pm start
Location: Denver Newspaper Auditorium
Details: www.ADCD.com

ALSO wanted to let you know Chase is having an expressly casual Chase Jarvis SOCIAL Thursday 6/11 (tomorrow) in Boulder. All are welcome. Fan him on Facebook or follow me on Twitter to find out time and place.

Lastly, in case you missed 'em, he made some fun of himself and did some laughable (er..dubious) teaser vids for this talk here and here. Low and behold, an ol' pal McNally followed it up with this funny parody.

Hope to see you at one or both.

Final Teaser for Chase Jarvis

June 12th, RSVP NOW!

ADCD Judge Numero Quattro. Entries due Friday May 29.

Call-for-entries for ADCD Annual Show has been extended to May 29, friends. And for good reason.

While we’re getting great response from all Denver-creative types, we want the crème de la crème for our rockstar judging panel, which now includes Will McGinness out of the legendary San Francisco treat of an agency known as Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

Will made his mark early at Arnold lassoing the highly-prized VW account, and soon became a playa in helping Goodby redefine the agency as a force in holistic marketing. His efforts for gettheglass.com, a breathtaking game for Got Milk? as well as the Comcastic web site alone shows his fearlessness in smashing through new walls to find creative ways to tackle new media. He’s also worked on Saturn, Rolling Rock, Doritos and Hyundai. Along with the tons of awards he’s won in virtually every show, he was the Interactive Jury Chair for the 2008 One Show.

Lots of great work rolling in. Is yours among them? Should be. The 2009 ADCD Annual Show is gearing up to be one of our best ever.

Go to adcd.com and show us your babies.

Come see this Guy, if he survives

RSVP now.

Award Show Judge Bryan Jessee

Hey, if you are not aware, consider this your own personal Awareness Message. The ADCD Annual Awards show is live and the Call for Entries has been announced. Want more, go to the online entry form and rules here. In the meantime, gather your best work of the last year and get it in. Remember, you can not be identified as one of Denver's best if your work is not listed as Denver's best. Besides, we have a steller group of judges, why not read about one right now?





We reached deep into cattle country to pull a star out of the Lone Star State. Bryan Jessee is a well-known veteran in these parts with a resume touting a who’s who of Texas ad agencies. GSD&M. The Richards Group. And today, McGarrah Jessee, an agency nestled in Austin that he co-founded with Mark McGarrah. The 75-person agency is quite a noisemaker, being represented in top advertising and design shows for clients such as Shiner Beer, Frost Bank, and Whataburger. McGarrah Jessee also hooked and reeled in honors for architectural design and two publications, proving that Bryan’s agency is one to keep a good eye on. They also operate a design arm called Chaos Concept Manufacturing.

Chase Jarvis

Hey Kiddies. Thought we would take a little time and get you up to speed on our up coming events. First, let's divide you into two groups. The first is those of you who know Chase Jarvis. If you know him, know he is the first of our Annual Show Judges this year and he is speaking for us in June. More details to come on that. If you don't know him, hit his website, check out some great photography and then come back here.

Now that you are all up to speed, check out some of the vids he has pulled together.

Oh, yeah, also know that the Annual Show Call for Entries is coming, and if you want, get the head start here, or just wait for the mailer. What ever floats your boat. Just get Denver's best work here so that we can flaunt it.

We didn't visit a fortune teller. We swear.

When we selected the judges last spring, we went after what we thought was the hottest up-and-coming talent. Apparently our thinking is line with Communication Arts. The soon-to-be-released September issue features not one, but two key articles on a pair of our rockstar judges. Howard Schatz and mono (starring Creative Director, Jim Larson) will be in the spotlight. Grab a copy, and then grab a seat at the show you don't want to miss, the 2008 ADCD Award Show.

BC Lions

Some more work for the BC Lions, from our friends up in Canada, Rethink. You may remember them, Rob Sweetman was one of those guys that helped pick the best work in Colorado. Speaking of, we have the awards to hand out in September. go to adcd.com to RSVP. What are you waiting for, go now.

THIS ONE WILL BE BIG

On Friday the 13th (yes it a Friday, there was a misprint on the invites) we bring in four of the brightest minds, from four of the hottest shops in design, advertising, and photography. They will spend the next few days identifying the best work in Colorado for our 53rd Annual Show. But before they do that, Howard will honor us with a presentation of his work and the talent that got him to the heights of his profession.

-AND-

While your listening to Howard you may want to lean over to Alan, Jim or Rob and pick their brains too.

RSVP here, for what promises to be one great event.
