Saluting our Silver Medalist

Each year the American Advertising Federation–Topeka bestows their once-in-a-lifetime, highest achievement award. The Silver Medal recognizes someone for their long history of outstanding contributions to advertising, advancing the industry’s standards, creative excellence and community involvement. We are proud to announce this year’s honoree is Leslie Palace, a jhP team member since 2004!

Leslie has always exhibited the highest levels of dedication to jhP and previous employers throughout her stellar career. All her life, she has been an active and influential member of the Topeka community. She goes above and beyond for her clients, her associates and her neighbors.

Here’s what some of her peers had to say:

Super Commercials XLIII

The munchies have all been inhaled, the cheers brought to whispers and now those of us at jhP are enjoying our advertising coma.

Super Bowl Sunday is like Christmas morning to those of us in the ad business. Not only do we get to watch the biggest football game of the year, most times indulging in our favorite foods with our closest friends, but we also get a present – critiquing and enjoying the commercials – a major part of our livelihood!
 
This year jhP conducted a live Twitter feed with our initial opinions. Upon several replays on YouTube, the jhP team was polled and the results are in. This year’s favorite Super Bowl commercial was a three-way tie!

Doritos “Crystal Ball”

Cash4Gold.com “Heeere’s Money”

Careerbuilder.com “Tips”

We also felt that Bridgestone’s “Taters” spot, the Bud Light "Meeting" spot and the Pepsi Max “I’m Good” spot were noteworthy. 

We would love to hear from you and your opinion of this year’s commercials! What were your favorites?
