Celebrating Success: Ace Studios Wins Big at the ADDYs

Celebrating Success: Ace Studios Wins Big at the ADDYs

We are thrilled to announce that Ace Studios has once again proved its creative prowess by clinching not one, but two prestigious awards at AAF Reno‘s American Advertising Awards. Our captivating photography campaign, “Crowned Prince,” has garnered both a Gold ADDY and a Mosaic ADDY Award, marking a remarkable achievement in the realm of advertising creativity and diversity.

The “Crowned Prince” campaign encapsulated a vision that transcended conventional boundaries of masculinity. From composition to makeup and lighting, every element was thoughtfully curated to convey a narrative of regality, empowerment, and cultural richness.

Winning the Gold ADDY Award is a testament to the exceptional creativity and execution demonstrated by the entire team at Ace Studios. It signifies not only our commitment to excellence but also our ability to deliver innovative creations that resonates with audiences. This recognition reinforces our position as a leading force in the advertising industry, dedicated to pushing boundaries and surpassing expectations.

However, what truly sets this achievement apart is the receipt of the Mosaic ADDY Award. This accolade holds special significance as it celebrates diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism in advertising. The Mosaic ADDY Award recognizes campaigns that authentically represent diverse perspectives, cultures, and communities, fostering a more inclusive and equitable advertising landscape.

At Ace Studios, diversity and representation are not merely checkboxes but integral components of our creative process. We believe in harnessing the power of storytelling to amplify voices, celebrate differences, and foster empathy. The “Crowned Prince” campaign exemplifies our unwavering commitment to showcasing the beauty and complexity of diverse experiences, resonating with audiences on a deeper level.

Receiving both the Gold ADDY and the Mosaic ADDY Award is a remarkable honor, underscoring our dedication to excellence, innovation, and inclusivity. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the AAF Reno’s American Advertising Awards for this recognition and to our clients, collaborators, and supporters who continue to inspire and challenge us.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain steadfast in our mission to push creative boundaries, champion diversity, and shape the future of advertising. The journey doesn’t end here—it’s a testament to what we can achieve when creativity knows no bounds.

Coffee Talks With Ace

Coffee Talks With Ace

Interviewed By: Chris Thigpen, COO
Report by: Alexandria Thomson, FX Specialist/Internal Marketing Coordinator

In celebration of AAPI month, we had the chance to interview a local Asian-owned business in Reno, Nevada, Biggest Little Boba Shop.

Question: What advice do you have for women wanting to start a business?

D: “My advice for women starting a business would be to always have faith in what you’re doing especially when you’re already putting your foot in. Don’t give up because it may be hard at first. It’s a learning process. So don’t beat yourself up because you made a mistake or something didn’t go your way. The first time is always a work in process, and you learn & grow from it; you just do better the next time.”
