“The Other Hand” campaign notes how “99% of people eat Cheetos with their dominant hand. Using your other hand? It’s a Cheetos thing.”
It’s the second time in the past three years that work for Cheetos from Goodby has taken home “Best of Show.”
“Competition in the Addys gives us a chance to see how we stack up against the best in the business,” said Chris Beresford-Hill, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer at BBDO who served as the Competition Chair for this year’s awards.
Other notable campaigns recognized at this year’s awards gala included:
Special Judges Awards to Rise and Shine & Partners for “Supercuts Real Dumb Coupon” for Regis Corporation; Goodby Silverstein & Partners for “Ask Dali” for the Dali Museum; and BBDO Worldwide for “Tail Orchestra” for Pedigree.
Three Mosaic ADDYs for work that exemplifies a spirit of diversity and inclusion were presented to Whiskey Design for its “Artisan Remix Can Series” for Vine Street Brewing; Cannonball, for the “Superhero Project” for Superhero Project; and Harris Media Company for “When We Got the Call” for the LifeCenter Organ Donor Network.
