Description:
To help promote the show, TDA partnered with Colorado Kind, a marijuana grower and award show sponsor, to create three specific strains of weed, made specifically for the advertising community.
The three cultivars are:
· One for creatives, “Concepting Indica”: This will take your mind and body to another universe.
· One for strategy, “Strategy Hybrid”: This one is for focus, connecting patterns and outliers quickly and for those who seek the truth.
· One for technologists, “Coding Sativa”: This strain drives you through 1s and 0s all night.
“The Fifty Weed” will be available for purchase from January 26 until February 2 -- everywhere Colorado Kind Cannabis is sold.
Additionally, since all award shows have a penalty for late entries, TDA_Boulder created the Drug Test. Stoners are known for being tardy, so if an agency tested positive for pot, ironically they’ll get a free deadline extension.
"We're proud that The Fifty still stands as one of the most progressive shows in America, celebrating the top fifty advertising and marketing ideas in Colorado. To this end, we collaborated with TDA_Boulder, on a promotional campaign acknowledging our state's momentum of cannabis and the relationship the creative community has to it. From our growing advertising community to tax revenue, Colorado stands as a solid role model for innovation.” - Tonja Roth, executive director, Denver Ad Club
The campaign was promoted with Facebook advertising, email and drug tests and where delivered to every ad agency in Denver and Boulder.
