The D Show awards that honor the creatives of Detroit were given out for the second year in a row.
Excerpt:
“I want to remind you we’re from Detroit, a city with a statue of a
fist,” said a defiant Bill Ludwig, vice chairman and chief creative
officer at Warren-based advertising agency Campbell-Ewald. He’s also
chairman of the D Council, the Adcraft Club of Detroit committee that
oversees the awards judging and black-tie presentation event at the Max
M. Fisher Music Center.
Ludwig’s
agency was the sometimes-rowdy event’s big winner, taking home 19 of
the Old English-script “D Awards,” including Best of Show for its
integrated wellness campaign for the Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente health-care consortium.
The
D Awards — everything from tradition print and broadcast ads to

eligible and judged by outside experts — must have been produced by a
Detroit-based agency or client between June 1, 2007, and May 31 of this
year.
