Maple Honored with 2007 Best of Show Addy Award
The Mapleonian squadron is flying high today, following a fun-filled Friday night at the Addy Awards Banquet. We were honored and humbled to win "Best of Show" for the second consecutive year in the annual AAF-WV advertising competition. This wonderful designation, along with seven other awards, was bestowed upon us by a distinguished panel of AAF member-judges from Virginia and Tennessee. And to everyone who's part of the Marketing Genius community: congratulations to you too! Your support, feedback and questions have helped us sharpen and refine our skills.Maple Creative Wins Seven ADDY® Awards

This year, there were 207 entries total and 20 second-place silver and 20 first-place gold awards were presented.

Skip,
I didn't even need to wish you "good luck" on Friday when we spoke. I knew that you guys would definitely NOT come home empty handed....
Congrats on the consecutive wins for Best of Show and the many other honors awarded last week.
Once again, Maple has been rewarded for their excellent work. Kudos to the MARKETING GENIUSES at Maple. You all inspire other marketers to work hard and provide excellent customer service. You make us strive for excellence and extreme dedication. It's difficult trying to keep up with you guys, but you don't get anywhere by sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Many of us (including myself) wouldn't be who/where they are today without the great folks at Maple Creative!!!!
Thanks to the entire Maple team for all you do to improve the industry and the community. CONGRATS!!!!

It doesn't surprise me that Maple is an award-winning team! I've known that all along, but this morning, I received an exciting reminder of that fact.
Out of all the times that I have visited the new Maple site (and it's been more times than I wish to share...I'm a little obsessed), I never knew that the photos on the bios changed if you rolled over them with the cursor. I was surprised this morning and very impressed. The photos show the different sides of the people on the team. I don’t know how else to say it, but... It’s absolutely outstanding!!! You guys have so many layers to your team... so many layers to the website and all the work you do.
You all never cease to amaze me. Once again, kudos to the marketing geniuses at Maple! You all give us reasons to keep coming back to the site. It’s fun and different!
You've raised the bar again...now it's up to the rest of us to continue to play CATCH UP!!!!

Congrats to the team at Maple Creative and those behind the scenes who helped make it possible -- prepress, press operators, media techs, etc. Without them none of this would be possible for any ad agency/shop.
