Everyone was dressed in their finest T-shirt and blazer for the 2011 One Show last night. Happy to announce that Doner’s work for Chrysler was awarded as a Finalist. Great to represent Detroit amongst the world’s greatest work. See you next year One Show.

Thursday, March 24th was a very good night for Doner Newport Beach at Gothic Moon Studios in Orange, California.
Attending the OC Ad Federation’s 23rd Annual OC ADDY Awards Gala, we took home six awards; two Gold, two Silver and two Bronze.
The list of work judged by the advertising community included client campaigns for Avery, Del Taco and Mazda all of which were recognized with an award.
All in all we were proud to be a part of such a great event that recognizes some of the best work in our industry. As our spot for Avery played during the ceremony we received much laughter from the audience and the crowd’s enthusiastic applause for the work we did for Mazda made us feel great about what we accomplished for the brand.
Great job to all of our talented employees who were involved in the development of all of these amazing pieces of work.

The 2010 Vista Awards were revealed this week and we were pleased to find out that two of the ads included in the listing were created right here at Doner. Our ads for Rain-X and Amazon Kindle were seen by millions and both resulted in an overwhelming number of people taking action.
The Vista Awards are conducted by Affinity Vista, the recognized leader in magazine accountability tracking. Vista fields online studies to measure every ad in every issue of the biggest consumer magazines, gauging them for ad recall, brand association and actions that readers take as a result.
Congratulations to everyone at Doner whose hard work went into developing these very effective ads!

What a great time at The 4th Annual D Show last night! Great venue (Max M. Fisher Music Center) and it was an honor to be surrounded by such amazing local creative talent. I was proud to be a part of Doner and support the Detroit advertising community as well as celebrate all the great work we’ve created for our clients this past year.

In less than two weeks we’ve picked up another award for the “33 Keys” ARG we created for Mazda3. This time it’s a MIXX Award. Last night, at the MIXX Awards Gala held in New York, the agency won Bronze in the Cross-Media Integration category for “33 Keys.” The MIXX Awards honor interactive work that sets new standards of creativity and innovation for the medium. Congratulations to our entire team involved, it’s looking like we’re going to need a bigger trophy case!
