The United Adworkers Local 208 is a Milwaukee based organization dedicated to the pursuit of marketing communications excellence.
I was flipping through Archive recently and ran across a television ad for CCM hockey skates conceived and produced by our very own C-K. No, not their Chicago office, but here in Milwaukee. Nice work. It’s after the jump, for your viewing pleasure.
You can’t blame the weather, it was perfect. You could try to accuse the pressures of the workload you were blowing off to be there, but that’s just sad. There’s always the alcohol factor. Meaning you probably didn’t have enough free Lake Front Brewery Beer (how’s that for a shameless product plug?) Take a look at the fun you had or could have had if you were at this year’s Adworker Golf Outing by clicking on the photos section. Team Story from Chicago took first place. They were tied with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Actually, we had to go back 4 hole scores to find where Story covered MJS. Get it? Cause MJS usually covers stories… HA!
Thank you all for submitting your best work for the Milwaukee 99. In fact, we have once again topped the previous year’s number of entries, so way to increase the competition! Judging will be completed by mid-July to allow us ample time to put the show together by September 11th, the date of this year’s Milwaukee 99. So please mark your calendars for Thursday, September 11th. Hmm…. if only there were an easy way to get you all to remember that date. We’ll try to come up with something. Speaking of judging, we have booked five extremely talented creatives from around the country with impressive pedigrees to decide which pieces are worthy of belonging to the Milwaukee 99. See you September 11, if not sooner.
Congratulations to Adworkers’ very own Jeff Ericksen for his Radio Mercury Award winning spot for Shorewest while he was at bvk. Jeff was writer and CD on the spot while Kelly Ladwig of bvk and Steve Kultgen of Independent Sound produced it. Just further proof that great work is coming out of Milwaukee, as we are all well aware. Check out the spot and the rest of the Mercury award winners at
