Barnes Agency, with offices in Huntington and Hurricane, WV, received a Gold Addy Award for its production of the 2013 Marshall University football intro video at the recent American Advertising Federation of West Virginia (AAF-WV) Addy Awards held in Charleston.
Annually, AAF-WV presents a series of silver and gold Addy awards to work that out-of-state judges determine to represent excellence in advertising. Gold Addys are the most coveted of the AAF awards presented on an annual basis.
“We are delighted and humbled to have been bestowed this award on behalf of our work for Marshall University Athletics” stated Jeffrey M. Barnes, president and CEO of Barnes Agency. “We have been producing Marshall University’s football intro videos for the past five years, and we know how important the video is to so many of the fans that attend Marshall University home football games each year. It’s really an honor for us to be provided this opportunity by Marshall Athletics, and the award is just icing on the cake.”
The intro video is shown at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards Stadium on the two large video boards at every home game each year prior to kickoff, just before the team runs out on the field.
“Jeff Barnes and his organization are very worthy of this award and Marshall University Athletics could not be more thrilled about the partnership,” said Marshall University Associate Athletic Director, Aaron Goebbel. “Barnes Agency is a top notch group that understands the sports arena, and they have produced an outstanding product that energizes our great Marshall fans. The video production work they manage is world-class and they captivate an audience with a full understanding of what the message you are trying to deliver is. They get the Marshall brand.”
Barnes Agency is currently in production on the 2014 Marshall University football intro video and is optimistic that this year’s version will be exciting well received by those who attend games during the upcoming season.
