Absolute Marketing Group landed twenty-two awards at the Advertising Federation of Fargo-Moorhead’s 2008 ADDY Awards Show held on February 27, 2009. The awards are given for superior creative abilities.
This year Absolute Marketing received thirteen gold awards and nine silver awards, more than doubling last year’s total of ten. Only one gold is awarded per category. One entry from Absolute Marketing Group won a gold ADDY award in the District 8 competition in Minneapolis. District 8 is comprised of clubs from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. This entry will compete in the national ADDY competition with other district winners from across the nation. In addition to the gold winner, Absolute also won four silver awards out of the thirteen total entries that advanced from the local competition into the District 8 competition.
Expansion Leads to Success
This year’s performance continues the trend for Absolute Marketing which has seen its recognition nearly double each of the last three years. In that three-year span, Absolute Marketing has totaled 35 local awards and five district awards and worked with nearly 300 different companies in a broad range of industries from agricultural engineering to fashion.
About the ADDYs

Categories range from traditional advertising media such as newspaper and television to non-traditional advertising such as online. This three-tiered competition features a local, district and national competition. All gold award winners automatically advance to the next level.
