Art Directors Club Throws the Best Awards Shows

Last Thursday night at their private space (106 West 29th St.) the Art Directors Club held its 86th annual “golden cube” awards show, honoring the best in creative advertising throughout all its mediums. We’re not sure if we’re supposed to say anything like this, but the ADC show is the best of its kind. And it’s not just the min team’s opinion. It’s fact.

Top shelf drinks and champagne flow freely from the bars, the work is displayed attractively around the ADC space, and the actual ceremony is fairly brief with lots of video. Party goers don’t have to stop drinking or even move from their hard-fought high-top spots to be a part of the action.

After the show, a marching band that looked like it would be more comfortable at a bar in Williamsburg (Brooklyn, not Virginia) filtered out onto the stage and into the audience. We’d never seen a hipster in dark lipstick twirl a baton and do splits—and we don’t expect we ever will again. Never is a long time, though, friends of min, so the memories and pictures will have to last a while.

The Back Story
Ami Brophy replaces long-time executive director of the ADC, Myrna Davis. Brophy comes from Nielsen’s Clio Awards, a for-profit rival (the ADC is not-for-profit). Davis had been with the ADC for 14 years, and when she was announced, applause was immediate, enthusiastic, and long-lasting.
