Kudos to One of Ocala’s Own!

To understand just how prestigious it is that Ocala-based advertising professional, Kent Weakley of Blue Sky Graphic Communication won a National Advertising Federation Gold Addy, one only needs to check the statistics.

The competition starts early in the year, and entries must win at the local and regional level before being considered at the national level. Over 60,000 entries from all media types from anywhere in the world; and Weakley was among them. To make the win even more gratifying, this year’s national awards ceremony was held in Orlando, Florida, which meant many of Weakley’s local peers, were present to celebrate the home-state winner. The annual award attracts advertising professionals from all over the globe – from communities like Ocala to Madison Ave, New York.

The Gold Addy was awarded to Weakley for his submission in the Elements of Advertising category, black and white photography, Enchanted Bluff, and used in an ad for Great American Insurance.
