Origin brought home 6 Addys from the 2007 HAF Addy Awards Show, including the coveted Judges Award. In an unforeseen twist that made selflessness look completely self-indulgent, the invitation and gift box designed for a “Calling All Saints” party hosted for loyal vendors won both a Gold Addy and the Judges Award. After winning another gold in the regional competition, “Calling All Saints” is now competing on the national level.

And as further example that parties pay, Origin’s Double Vision after-party was celebrated with a Silver Addy for agency self-promotion. Origin also earned a citation for the now infamous Safe SOX condom promotion introduced at the 2006 NIRI Conference.

A Gold Addy and a Citation of Excellence for two Time Warner Cable Business Solutions multi-media B2B campaigns rounded out the winnings.

Said Shawn Collier, Origin Partner, “Beginning last year, we really made an effort to get more involved in the community. We had a great time planning the events and producing the materials. Being honored for the work is icing on the cake.”

“In fact,” said Collier, “while other categories were being announced, we began planning our next big party.”

Stay tuned.
