Because Setting the Standard Is Anything But Standard.
In 2004 we entered the American Graphic Design Awards for the first time, and the following year, we dominated the show, taking home more national awards than any other agency in the nation. It was accomplishments like this that led us to be named among the "People to Watch" by Graphic Design USA in 2006. And while it may have been our first time in the national spot light, it has not been our last. Just last year, we took home a national ADDY in the world's largest advertising competition, putting us in the same company as Deutsche LA, Ogilvy New York and Publicis Worldwide and providing us entrée to markets far beyond the limits of Champaign. These kinds of accomplishments are not typical for an agency for our size. But this is the standard that we have set for our work. And this is the standard we will keep.
