We wanted to quickly share some exciting news with everyone: Brand Iron has received the Art Directors Club of Denver Gold award for its advertising campaign developed for The Denver Athletic Club. The Gold award is for the best campaign and was presented recently at the 2009 ADCD Annual Show.

We are, of course, very proud and honored to be chosen for this award. It is a testament to the quality work of our team and we want to thank CEO Andre van Hall and The DAC for the opportunity to be involved in creating this campaign.

The Art Directors Club of Denver is a local non-profit, multi-disciplinary creative organization focused on strengthening the creative community through education, workshops, informative events and an annual design competition. Utilizing a national panel of judges, the ADCD annually recognizes top work from a variety of categories including graphic design, video and sound, print advertising, new media web and photography. More than 425 entries were submitted for this year’s competition.

The advertising campaign Brand Iron developed for The Denver Athletic Club was designed to convey a new and exciting club atmosphere. By focusing on and demonstrating the benefits of a holistic club – one that offers athletic, business and social activities – the campaign’s goal was to draw attention to the club and attract new membership. It is well on its way to strengthening The DAC’s presence and position in the marketplace.
