Cavender’s Wins Best of Show + 10 Gold ADDYS | Ft. Worth American Advertising Awards

Cathy King Posted On March 17, 2020

Last year, Austin-based director and DP Bud Force (budforce.com) was approached to produce a national broadcast campaign and brand anthem for the Western apparel retailer, “Cavender’s,” which includes more than 80 stores nationwide. One of the biggest challenges in western lifestyle marketing is circumnavigating the cowboy cliches that have permeated the idea of the “West” for decades. Therefore, Cavender’s was looking for a director who could bring a hyper-authentic sense of realism to several concepts based on the foundation of grit and apparel.

Force, who focuses on non-fiction storytelling/brand films within the commercial landscape, is actually a former working cowboy and rodeo bull rider. He is also the co-director and cinematographer of the recently released feature-length film, “Cowboys: A Documentary Portrait,” which has been reviewed as one of the most authentic films to-date about the ranching industry. (thecowboymovie.com)

Working in hand with producer Cathy King and production company Ultralite Films (ultralitefilms.com), Force developed a comprehensive treatment that relied heavily on filming real people doing real things. The concepts primarily focused on the philosophies of working cowboys in a Western landscape although there was crossover into other elements for certain spots, such as construction and nightlife.

In order to retain full authenticity, Force felt it was mandatory to maintain a small production footprint by keeping the client and advertising agency from attending certain shoots and made that a contingency of accepting the job. The agency agreed to attend only a handful of local shoots while giving Force the freedom to manage the bulk of the productions independently. Using only natural light for all exteriors, the production crew consisted of less than five people, including still photographer John Langmore.

King, Force, and producer Chris Rodriguez lined out over 50 talent in locations across Texas and New Mexico, who were all styled by Fort Worth-based Amy Moorhouse. From there, the production crew shot and traveled for several weeks filming scenes ranging from dramatic cattle drives to welders to dancing and nightlife.

Once production wrapped, Force and Ultralite Films worked with edit house, “Outpost,” of Bruton Stroube (brutonstroube.com), located in St. Louis, Missouri. Collaborating closely with editors Lucas J. Harger (lucasjharger.com) and Andy DeVries, the team spent the next several months creating a signature two-minute brand film in addition to multiple 30, 15, and 6 second broadcast spots. The music for all spots was custom scored by Cleod9 Music in Washington DC, and the brand anthem song was arranged by singer/songwriter Daniel Libby. Spot scripts were written by Stephanie Orges, while the brand anthem relies solely on lyrical music from a cattle-driving melody from the late 1800s. Sound design was engineered by Steve Horne and coloring crafted by Brian Singler, both of Bruton Stroube.

The campaign won Best of Show for the brand anthem and 10 gold ADDYs at Fort Worth’s 2020 American Advertising Awards.

LERMA Posted On March 16, 2020

Awards recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in advertising

LERMA, a Dallas-based next-generation communications agency dedicated to creating disruptive and impactful content for multicultural America, is proud to announce 11 award wins, including a Judge’s Choice and the coveted Mosaic Award, at the American Advertising Federation’s Dallas Chapter’s 2020 ADDY Awards. The annual awards celebrate creativity and excellence in advertising.

Notable among the 11 awards that LERMA received was the Mosaic Award, which recognizes companies, agencies and individuals whose commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident through their creative work. LERMA’s Mosaic Award was for the pro-bono campaign titled “Two Years After” for PRxPR, which consists of an awareness and donation initiative to continue promoting, aiding and funding the re-construction of Puerto Rico in the continued aftermath of Hurricane Maria. This is the second year in a row that LERMA received the Mosaic Award, this time for their pro-bono efforts on behalf of PRXPR.

LERMA also received a coveted Judges’ Choice Award for the #StopGunViolence initiative. LERMA’s work on this initiative is another example of the agency’s commitment and investment in social-cause marketing.

“We are extremely excited and proud of these awards because they recognize the work we have done for multiple clients, as well as for our own initiative to bring the subject of gun control to the forefront of conversation,” said Aldo Quevedo, LERMA Principal and Creative Director. “At LERMA, we have a wall with a huge statement: ‘We make our clients rock.’ The recognition that LERMA received at the ADDYs certainly reflects that!”

At the Feb. 27 awards event, LERMA also received recognition (5 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze) for breakthrough work created for Dr Pepper, BanCoppel, Orkin, Metro by T-Mobile and PRxPR.

Gold ADDY:
PRxPR, “Two years after” integrated campaign

The Texas Festival & Events Association awarded eight prestigious Kaliff Zenith Marketing Awards for advertising campaign and components supporting the 2019 Cottonwood Art Festival and Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival– both produced by the City of Richardson Parks & Recreation in Richardson, Texas. The Barber Shop Marketing creative team received five gold awards, two silver awards and one bronze award for their innovative campaigns and components

The International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) also awarded The Barber Shop Marketing with four prestigious IFEA/Haas & Wilkerson Pinnacle Awards for the advertising campaign and components supporting the 2019 Cottonwood Art Festival and Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival.
