AdFarm shines at Region II NAMA Awards Show.

AdFarmers were warming up a cold night with some great wins at the NAMA Region II awards show on Thursday night in Kansas City.  The reception and ceremony happened at KC’s local Boulevard Brewery, and attracted agrimarketers and agencies from the region – a few no-shows because of 6” of new snow and temps falling to near zero.  But we AdFarmers made it there and had a wonderful time relaxing with a few Boulevard beers and dinner.  Intervet/Schering-Plough client Mitch Johnson came out to join the fun.

The NAMA awards recognize excellence in agri-marketing/communications in 2009.  The winning entries advance to the big national NAMA competition in April!

Congratulations to our wonderful clients and to all AdFarmers who worked on these campaigns and entries.
