For the second-consecutive year Adams & Knight Advertising/Public Relations won the top prize at the Advertising Club of Connecticut’s 2006 Outdoor Billboard Competition. The winning billboard, “All Better.” will be placed along state highways to promote the child healthcare services of the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center (CCMC), and celebrate the hospital’s 10th anniversary.

More than 30 entries were submitted for the annual Outdoor Billboard Competition.

Don Carter, Adams & Knight creative director, won the $250 first-place prize and the honor of having his creative work displayed on three different billboards across Connecticut throughout 2006.

“The “All Better” billboard is a nice simple way of getting CCMC’s message across,” said Carter, a two-time winner of the competition. “It quickly communicates that they understand kids and making them better is their passion.”

Adams & Knight also took home the fourth place prize. All of the entries for the billboard competition will be on display at CCMC in celebration of its 10th anniversary.

“The Advertising Club of Connecticut has been a generous long-time supporter of CCMC,” said Tom Hanley, CCMC director of public relations. “The creativity put into designing these billboards is very inspiring. Adams & Knight’s billboard — with just two simple words — effectively communicates the commitment we have here at CCMC to making kids better.”

Adams & Knight was recently named the 2006 Marketer of the Year—by the American Marketing Association’s (AMA) Connecticut chapter for its work with United Way of the Capital Area. The agency also received three Mark of Excellence Awards for its work with the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, and Travelers.
