6th Stop - DDB-Chicago
The presentation at DDB Chicago was wonderful. The entire creative team was in attendance along with five people from the client, Field Museum, and Don Hoffman, EVP Managing Director of Accounts. The incredible offices of DDB are loaded with artwork from around the world, and sweeping views of Chicago were the perfect setting for the awards presentation. DDB Chicago also wanted to make sure that each and every person that worked on the Field Museum account received a duplicate Best of Show award and that the Field Museum would also receive a Best of Show award at the same time as the agency. So, the presentation was complete in every way. The Field Museum staff was excited to learn that the work done by DDB Chicago was in competition with other First Place Winners from around the world say that they had no idea that they were competing with such other incredible work. That certainly made DDB feel great! Following the awards presentation, champagne and Bud beer (another major client of DDB Chicago) were served while everyone screened nominees in other mediums.
