Yeah, we have been out there detonating bombs the past two years.

The economy made mincemeat of us, but here we are again, like David -v- Goliath, rising up against the best of the Miami advertising world. We have been on a forced sabbatical for the past 8 months, not because we are a bad business, but because it is a bad economy.

And still, we are winners.

We entered five projects in this year’s ADDY competition, which was all we had because we closed our doors in July ‘09.

From the five, we won four ADDYS. Not a bad average!

We won for the following:
GOLD ADDY
• Bluntzer Group / Corporate ID
• Poster Show®
SILVER ADDY
• Hotel Beaux Arts Brochure
• Perry Ellis/Manhattan Internal Flash Video for JCPenney

We are most proud of winning GOLD for Poster Show®, our annual charity art show, which is home to our contributory heart and soul. You will be hearing much about this again in the next few months. It is my personal passion. Poster Show® will become a powerful fixture in the Miami charity/art scene. Just you wait and see.

I want to thank the people of the Collec+ive, who believed in us and stayed with us to the bitter end and beyond. We are a true Collec+ive now, coming together as jobs warrant. All are always in my heart. Where I go, they go, if that is what they want.

I love you all.
