We attended the annual STL Addys last night at The Lumen near Schlafly Tap Room.
It was a night a snacking, mingling and scoffing at work that I could have done (but didn't).
We started the night of by going across the street to Bridge. A musically inspired winebar and tap house. Fans of Bailey's Chocolate Bar and The Rooster will like the newest endeavor by owner David Bailey. Its a gorgeous space with lofted dining and incredible light fixtures. Here are some shots from the inside out.
Then we jaunted over to Lumen just in time to stand around and drink for a couple of hours before the winners were announced (of which I was not).
Cannonball, a primarily Broadcast-centric agency in town, walked away with multiple Addys including Best in Show. They basically dominated the Superbowl this year for AB, beating out ad Goliath, DDB, for all of Bud Light work on the Big Game. Last night they won big for the Jimmy Football stuff from last year. Check it out.

Another ever present agency name was Toky Branding and Design. They won or were recognized for multiple categories, styles and clients. Rightfully so, because they always do great work, and this year was no different. Here are some of the projects that I can remember.

We sadly learned about the passing of the son of one of STL most influential 'Ad Men' Tom Townsend. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
