Local Competition Receives More than 71 Entries with the 36 Gold Recipients Advancing to a Regional Event.

Sarasota-based advertising firm, Liquified Agency, was honored with 15 Addy Awards, one Amy Award, and one Judge’s Choice Award at last weekend’s Suncoast ADDY Awards, presented annually by the American Advertising Federation. This year’s award gala was held at Ringling College Studio Labs

Liquified was honored with an Amy Award and Judge’s Choice Award for Best in Category: Advertising Industry Self-Promotion for a merchandise design project. The project was selected as the top entry among five competing submissions in the category.

The agency earned significant recognition, taking home multiple Gold and Silver awards across web, social, brand identity, photography, logo design, and collateral categories. Highlights include Gold ADDYs for standout social media campaigns, integrated brand identity work, logo design, photography, and event collateral. The agency also received Silver ADDYs for website design, microsites, social media executions, photography, and logo design. Collectively, these awards highlight Liquified Agency’s ability to deliver compelling, results-driven work for nonprofit, lifestyle, food & beverage, and consumer brands at both the local and national level.

“We’re always chasing that sweet spot where great creative ideas meet real results,” said Caitlin Wiggins, Director of Marketing and Agency Operations. “Winning these awards is incredibly exciting, but the real headline is the trust our clients give us to take creative swings. Their vision and partnership make the bold work possible. We’re proud to share this moment with them.”

The American Advertising Awards showcase the best creative work produced by local professionals and students across the Suncoast and are recognized as the industry’s most representative competition. Each year, nearly 35,000 entries are submitted through locally operated AAF clubs across the country. The three-tiered judging process advances winning work from the local level to district competition across Florida and the Caribbean before reaching the national stage. This year’s competition featured more than 100 categories spanning marketing, design, and video production, with Liquified Agency earning recognition in eight categories.
