2012 ADDY Awards

This past weekend the Sells Agency attended the ADDY awards – presented by the American Advertising Federation–Little Rock (AAF-LR) – which honor a high standard of creativity and excellence in advertising. We are excited to announce that the agency received five awards for work we created on behalf of Sheltair and Arkansas Tech University.

We won a gold ADDY award for our Choose Tech campaign, produced for Arkansas Tech University. This campaign received the only gold award for a television campaign outside of the PSA category. The Choose Tech campaign also received a bronze in the regional/national TV, single spot, consumer services category.

In addition, our Arkansas Tech Accelerated Degree TV was awarded bronze in the local television, :60 second category.

We also won bronze ADDY awards for Sheltair photography in both the campaign and color photography categories.

Special thanks go to Sheltair and Arkansas Tech University for working with us to create these successful, now award-winning campaigns. It’s our honor to work with such great clients on a daily basis and to be a part of a wonderful organization like AAF-LR.

WE WANT YOU!

Are you a college student or recent graduate interested in marketing, advertising, graphic design or art? Do you want to spend your summer doing more than babysitting or running to get coffee and making copies? We are looking for one account services intern and one graphic design intern for our 2012 Career Clarity program.

Past interns have completed various projects and campaigns for local non-profits and new agency clients that included website planning and design, brochures and other printed pieces, statewide research and public relations efforts. No matter what the project is, we promise you will be busy, have fun and learn a lot about our industry.

If you are interested in finding out more about the 2012 Career Clarity program, get more information here, and click here to get the application. Applications are due March 30. Please email questions to sarah@sellsagency.com.

Interns will be compensated for their work.

Sells Agency Welcomes New Associates

The Sells Agency is excited to welcome two new members to our team team. Elizabeth Luttrell and Lauren Thompson have joined the agency as art director and account executive, respectively.

Elizabeth is a Little Rock native and comes to us from Dillard’s where she worked as a graphic and packaging designer. She has been hard at work bringing client campaigns to life with her creative eye, and we are slowly but surely getting over the fact that she is an LSU Tiger.

Lauren has been working as an account executive for Moroch Partners for the past four years and will be heading up client accounts on both the digital and traditional side for the agency. She has an impressive background both in her work experience and as a member of the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Arkansas.

We are excited to add these two women and their diverse talents to our team. Welcome, Elizabeth and Lauren!

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food." - George Bernard Shaw

How true Mr. Shaw, how true. And, the food is just one of the reasons we love our client, TaMolly's Mexican Restaurant.

They have been an active participant and integral part of our Marketing Clarity process since last summer, when we started market research. After months of hard work from their team and ours, we have a nearly-complete campaign that includes a multi-media approach to reaching the client's target audience through TV, radio, outdoor advertising, newspaper inserts, in-store signage, web and public relations.

The concept behind this work is based on the love and fresh ingredients that go into making TaMolly's food, and how that will carry over into the customer experience. Below are some of the pieces of creative that recently hit three specific TaMolly's markets. Other pieces of creative are still in the works, but we'll be sure to share them with you soon.

And, if you haven't dined at a TaMolly's and experienced their delicious food and fabulous prices, you can find your nearest location here.
