Having a 10-minute conversation about whether we should display our recent Rockie awards reveals a lot about Neighborhood All-Stars. We’re a little shy and mumbly when it comes to talking about ourselves but smart enough to know that we need to get better at it or we’ll be working at Starbucks, where we really don’t want to work because even though they say they sell free-trade coffee, it makes up only about 1% of their sales.

So, YES, we admit it. We’ve received some recognition lately:

• We were recognized at this year’s Boise Ad Federation awards with two gold awards (poster series for Story Story Night and a branded animation for Milligan Events);  three silvers (Last of the Boys poster for Alley Rep Theater, agency self-promo Valentine’s Day greeting, event materials for ACLU’s Annual Human Rights Celebration); and several citations.
• We were just notified that we won a national advertising award (ADDY) for the Story Story Night poster series.
• Boise’s Red Sky PR won several awards from the Idaho Press Club and Capital City Communicators for I-way, an alternate transportation program that we (and other amazing crew members Carew Co and Alex Davis) helped them out with. View our fun video promo, for which Neighborhood All-Stars did the concepting/copywriting, illustration, and animation.

Yay us and a big monster of a thanks to all our great partners and clients!

Wanted to show off some of our recent print work.

We’re happy to announce that our Story Story Night logo was selected for inclusion in the 2010 Communication Arts Design Annual. Says Comm Arts about the annual selections: “The most prestigious competition for creativity in graphic design. Since 1959, Communication Arts has published the best in visual communications from around the world.”
