B-Man Snags Six Creative Awards B-Man Snags Six Creative Awards

B-Man Design has won one Gold, two Silver, and three Bronze medals in the 2000 Summit Creative Awards, in recognition for its outstanding creative work for ICON Restoration, Atlanta Juniors Volleyball, Trucolor Video Systems, and Turner Network Television. The Summit Creative Awards is the only competition of its kind, created to recognize exceptional work by advertising agencies, video production companies, multimedia firms, and other creative groups with annual billings of $15 million or less. It is the only opportunity such firms have to compete internationally.

This year’s panel of Judges included Andrew Swanson of Ogilvy Interactive (Darwin Digital), John Bamberger, Ed Catano, Hal Hodgson of The Marketing Deli, and Jeff Minsky of Saatchi & Saatchi. Entries in 16 creative categories were judged against a stringent set of standards. Judges looked for innovative and creative concepts, strong executions, and the ability to communicate and persuade. This year’s competition had a record number of entries, more than 3,000, with participation from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

B-Man Design also recently rolled out the annual Music Midtown poster. The successful completion of this project was the result of virtually two years of work. A year ago, the Atlanta creative firm submitted fifteen poster ideas to Music Midtown organizers, SFX Entertainment. Last year’s pro bono work turned to this year’s profit when a design for the Music Midtown 2000 poster was chosen. The posters, which are produced in two sizes, are displayed throughout Atlanta.
