The annual ADDY Awards ceremony was held this past Friday night, and a few of us here at Twelve Horses attended. If you remember from last year, there is always a theme. This time it was all about the t-shirt. Just use the “A” in ADDY to come up with a phrase of your liking. Anything goes. Here’s what Twelve Horses rolled with at the event.
All in good fun, and despite our snarky anarchy behavior we managed to walk away with a couple of awards of our own.
We received a gold ADDY for the design of the Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau’s website, as well as a silver Addy for an email design done for Incline Creek Estates, which is located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe in Incline Village. If we ever decide to recreate superman’s castle all in lucite, these will go into the construction.
Thanks to A2N2 for a fun event!

This hilarious parody, entitled “The Couple”, pokes fun at the disconnect that currently exists between traditional advertising and today’s consumers.
There is definitely a need for change within the industry as advertisers continue to view their audience as a statistic or dollar opportunity instead of forging meaningful relationships that will benefit all those involved.
“You’re saying you love me but you’re not behaving like you love me. It’s not genuine.”
The world needs more genuine advertising.

OneGoodReason.org was recently launched as part of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada’s (EDAWN) rebranding efforts. The site was designed to highlight the greater Reno-Tahoe community’s passion for the region. Everyone is encouraged to get on the site and post their feelings and perspectives about why they choose to live and do business here.
I had just entered, “The Biggest Little Best Kept Secret in the Nation” when I noticed the above highlighted posting. Someone had entered, ”Obviously you have a way to identify my URL. More tricks from Twelve Horses.” Funny!
First off, Twelve Horses did not produce this site, R&R Partners did. Secondly, I don’t think they are tracking any personal information. It is simply about saying something positive regarding our region. Have fun with it and help get the message out about how wonderful the greater Reno-Tahoe area is to live and work.

Yesterday, I blogged about what happen to Robert’s desk when he went on vacation. When I posted it, I didn’t realize that Martin had video of Robert’s reaction. Apparently, the morning that Robert came back to work, Martin hung out in the utility closet waiting for him to open the door. I’m not sure how long he waited, but the video is pretty good.
