Every year, the American Advertising Federation hosts the American Advertising Awards (ADDYs), which is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition. This year, the local Toledo chapter’s event was hosted virtually on Thursday, March 11, and we’re thrilled to announce that one of our client partners was among the celebrated winners!

National Hardware, a leading manufacturer of builders’ hardware, won a Bronze ADDY Award for their redesigned website. We worked with the National Hardware team on this website to help homeowners rethink hardware for home improvement projects by showing them just how fun and easy DIY-ing can be through an engaging online experience.

Congratulations again to our partners at National Hardware, and thank you to our internal teams here at Hanson who worked so hard to produce all of our amazing work over the past year!
