The Richmond Show 2010
Friday night I had the privilege to attend the 2010 Richmond Show hosted by the Richmond Ad Club. Hunter and I were both a little nervous going into this year’s awards given the fact we had so much fun enjoying our success last year (exhibit a). It would be a teeny bit embarassing to go home empty handed after that much fanfare.
Luckily, this year studioSavvy had the honor of going home with a Silver for our New Business Cards, and, even more exciting, a Gold Award for The Richmond Type Map!!! Once again we’re honored to be recognized for our work, especially considering the level of competition that this show always brings.
Some notable moments for me were:
- Listening to the hilarious Gene Cox call advertising people “boogers”
- Enjoying the full length version of the “Swagger Wagon” as Black Iris took home Best in Show under the Production Awards. Seriously, that spot gets me every time. (Play it. You know you want to.)
- A Cotton Candy machine!!
- Not tripping on my way up to the stage. Twice! Quite a feat.
More articulate people have posted recaps here and here, and the full list of winners is available here.
Once again, we are honored and proud to show off our cannonballs. Whether or not the gold babies will make it through TSA remains to be seen… stay tuned.

PS. Thank you to my muse, Jeff Kelley, for all of your support and for giving me the idea and motivation to complete the type map. We owe you a big chunk of medal.
