The American Advertising Awards, home of the ADDY® Award, is one of the industry's largest creative competitions, attracting nearly 35,000 professional and student entries each year in competitions offered through local AAF clubs. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in advertising.

Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the AAF Pensacola phase is the first of a three-tier national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie to win ADDY Awards - recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local ADDY winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards.

Join us for the most anticipated event of the year as we recognize some of the best Advertising Agencies and Creatives in the Pensacola area. American Advertising Award winners will be announced at the Gala.

About the lecture:
Leadership starts with the ability to look at every challenge—even the mundane tasks—as an opportunity to make a positive impact. Drawing from his unique approach to community building through filmmaking, Brett shares practical insights that will equip attendees to embrace their strengths, contribute to a larger mission, and uncover a more expansive view of what everyone can accomplish together. He shares powerful stories from his filmmaking adventures of ordinary people who have accomplished extraordinary things. This presentation encourages and inspires audiences to take ownership and feel confident about their ability to make a difference. By learning to see themselves as leaders contributing to a noble, shared vision, attendees will feel empowered to bring greater confidence and enthusiasm to their everyday tasks. This shift in perspective ignites the heroic spirit in audiences, equipping them to bring the truest, most powerful view of themselves to every aspect of their work and life.
