Governor’s Award

The AAF Tenth District’s Annual Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame “Governor’s Award” is presented to the advertising agency, who during it’s years of service, has distinguished itself through work produced on behalf of clients, who has contributed to the betterment of advertising and its reputation, and who has made volunteer efforts outside the workplace.

 

This year’s award winner, Lopez Negrete Communications, is one of the great Hispanic ad agencies in the country. They’ve produced award-winning work for clients throughout the country. Their vision is to “bridge the gap between corporate America and the Hispanic consumer with communications that empower each of them to achieve their goals.”

 

The Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame was created by the Tenth District of the American Advertising Federation to honor men and women from the region who have distinguished themselves. Inductees need not be a member of the AAF Tenth District. Inductees will automatically be nominated for the National Advertising Hall of Fame as they become eligible.

“What a great group of individuals to include in this Hall of Fame. Without a doubt, these inductees have set a high standard of excellence for our advertising industry and for civic leadership,” said Randy Kemp, co-chair, Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame.
