Velocity7 Wins Gold Addy Award for Public Service
Nevada City, CA – Nevada City’s premier marketing communications agency has been awarded a Gold ADDY Award by the Sacramento Ad Club. This success at the local level advances Velocity7’s entry into a regional-level competition, and, with success there, to the national level. The ADDY Awards is the world’s largest advertising competition, and is the only creative awards program administered by the advertising industry for the industry.

Velocity7 took home Gold honors for Public Service Campaign in a Single Medium for creating sevenforthesierra.com, an educational website on seven issues and ideas critical to the future of the Sierra Nevada. The website attracted visitors with a seven-month PR campaign highlighting a new concept each month. Visitors were presented with an engaging introduction to the issue, and directed on to further information and resources to take action on the issues that inspired them.

The Seven for the Sierra campaign was inspired by regional efforts to increase the sustainability of Sierra communities. Velocity7 used the campaign to introduce the web-browsing public to leading organizations and individuals working on behalf of the Sierra. Issue pages directed the user to organizations like the Sierra Business Council or South Yuba River Citizens League for further information. Illustrations from renowned field guide author, illustrator, and environmental educator John Muir Laws enlivened every entry.
