HMC Advertising

The Boston Hatch Awards has always been one of the nation’s leading, and toughest, creative advertising award shows. That’s why it was a good night for HMC last week when we could walk away with 11 awards for 4 different clients and 6 different campaigns. Here’s a sample of some of our award-winning Work That Matters.

The Phoenix, with their commitment to sober living and recovery through exercise and group activities, inspired us so much that we decided to create a campaign for them and give it to The Phoenix as a gift. We didn’t work from a brief or an actual assignment, but the messages and the tone of our campaign still struck a chord. And now The Phoenix and HMC have decided to start officially collaborating—and do Work That Matters, together.
