One Club Awards Denver 2022: Good Music. Great Work.

As the doors opened to the grand ballroom at Denver Athletic Club on Thursday, November 10th, Colorado’s marketing community was greeted with refreshing drinks and the relaxing jazz. It was the perfect way to ease into the One Club Awards Festival, as the awards themselves brought a lot of laughs and even a few tears.

Hosted by Mickey Citarella, whose commentary added humor to every moment, the event formally kicked off with recognition for the club’s departing presidents, Andy Nathan of Fortnight Collective and Heather Vanishko of Denver Ad School, and a welcoming of incoming president, Lisa Effress of 11 Dollar Bill. The awards themselves began with inspiring work from the next generation of advertising pros at CU Boulder and Denver Ad School, then proceeded to the professional category. Bronze, silver, and gold trophies were awarded to several local agencies for a gorgeous and thoughtful array of work, with Fortnight Collective for their creation taking home Best In Show for creating “Dream Doghouses” for VRBO.

When the awards wrapped, the music resumed. This time featuring dance jams from Sun Jr. The celebration went well into the night, capping off another successful ceremony. Of course none of these moments could have happened without the contributions of our sponsors Fortnight Collective, 11 Dollar Bill, Cactus, Denver Ad School and Integer.
