Listen to our nominated spot “Obama” below.
MEMPHIS, TN, 1/17/2014 – Campaigns & Elections, the nation’s leading political campaigns journal, has selected Memphis advertising agency, Sutton Reid, as a finalist for the 2014 Reed Awards. For the second consecutive year, Campaigns & Elections has honored Sutton Reid for being among the nation’s best creative agencies in political advertising and public affairs.
“Obama,” a 60-second radio commercial created by Steven Reid of Sutton Reid Advertising, was selected as a finalist in the category of Best Radio Spots: Best Use of Voice Over Talent. The advertisement was created in 2013 for the citywide campaign to fund universal Pre-K classes in Memphis.
“Being selected by the Reed Awards is one of the most prestigious honors in political advertising,” said Steven Reid, president of Sutton Reid. “It’s an even greater honor to know that our small agency is recognized among some of our country’s largest and finest agencies, especially since Sutton Reid is one of a few finalists outside of our nation’s capital.”
The Reed Awards is named in honor of Stanley Foster Reed, founder of Campaigns & Elections. The Reed Awards recognize outstanding work in direct mail, online and print advertising, live and automated phones, radio, TV, political technology, and signage and collateral material.
Winners will be announced at the Sixth Annual Reed Awards to be held February 7, 2014, at the Washington Marriott in Washington, DC.
