Colle + McVoy carried home 35 awards, including three gold, four silver, fourteen bronze and fifteen merit honors at The Show, the Advertising Federation of Minnesota's annual advertising awards gala. The honors, given on the evening of Fri., Nov. 10 at The Depot in downtown Minneapolis, were for agency clients including Schell's Beer, Winnebago, Red Wing Shoe Company, Nestlé Purina and Minnesota State Lottery.

The advertising and interactive marketing awards were judged earlier this year. Out of 1,446 entries, a total of 19 gold, 46 silver, 89 bronze and 226 merit honors were awarded.

"It was a fantastic night, a night years in the making," says Mike Fetrow, executive creative director, Colle+McVoy. "The Show was a tangible chance for Minneapolis to see what's been happening at Colle+McVoy and for all of us to celebrate some great work."

"This is more of the momentum we've been gaining since we moved to downtown Minneapolis in September," says Christine Fruechte, Colle+McVoy¹s president. "No agency has ever achieved such a dramatic change in one year at the Show, and it's the beginning of more great things to come from Colle+McVoy."
