Ambient Skies Takes Home 13 Awards At 2024 AAF Awards

It’s that time of year again! Award season baby! Let’s GOOOO!!!!

It’s the Oscars of the advertising industry. The American Advertising Federation holds annual award shows where agencies and production companies get to show off their work and compete for the bronze, silver, and gold awards for various categories. It’s where you get to see how you measure up to constituents in your region. And at the end of the day, it’s a celebration of all the creative people who are a part of the advertising community. 

The team is so proud of each other and the accomplishments we were able to achieve this past year. We are pleased to announce that the Ambient crew took home 13 awards!!! Woot! Woot! Shout out to the brand reps and producers who put their faith in us to execute a vision and prove results.

Ambient Skies - AAF Awards 2024

Let’s break it down and look at each award…

ASM

  1. Gold - Elements of Advertising - Video Editing - ASM - Ahead of What's Next
  2. Gold - Elements Of Advertising, Animation, Special Effects, or Motion Graphics - ASM - Ahead Of What’s Next
  3. Bronze - Elements Of Advertising, Cinematography - ASM - Ahead Of What’s Next
Ambient Skies - ASM

Whether you knew it or not… ASM has been one of the leaders in the semiconductor industry, pioneering and paving the way for other tech companies for over 40 years. With tons of locations all around the globe, ASM plays a huge role in improving the world’s daily lives through providing state of the art chips for electronics that we all rely on.

In the summer of 2023, ASM needed to collaborate with a production company that could handle a pretty big ask content-wise. Every year, they hold an annual event for investors and in doing so, they are in need of current content to play on large screens throughout the event. An up-to-date introduction video/brand film was at the top of the list. Along with other visual assets, 3D explainers, and more.

Check out the brand film we won awards for!

CARVANA

  1. Gold - Elements of Advertising - Still Photography Campaign - Carvana - Redbull Styled and Dialed Giveaway
  2. Bronze - Out-Of-Home & Ambient Media Large Venue - Carvana Phoenix Rising
Ambient Skies - Carvana

Not everyone can send it like Jaxson Riddle does in big-mountain freeride, but everyone can have a smooth and seamless car shopping experience with Carvana. That’s their shtick and they’re riding it into the sun. Badass car vending machines! Really sick, easy to use apps! They are definitely the future of car buying and we're on board.

Ambient and Carvana collaborate on various projects, one of them being this really fun “RedBull style” Carvana car give away commercial we helped execute out in Utah earlier this year!

Another deliverable we helped create was this Phoenix Rising game opener that was sponsored by Carvana. Flying FPV drones by pro players doing back flips and scoring goals! Sign us up!

AXON

  2. Gold - Out-Of-Home & Ambient Media Event - Tasercon x Moonshot

A new era of public safety has arrived. And it comes in the form of Axon CEO and Founder, Rick Smith who has proven himself as a true pioneer of safety technology excellence. Axon is pushing the conversation forward and putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to advancing tech for a better world. Our team had a blast putting these deliverables together in collaboration with the Axon team earlier this year. We’re proud to take home 2 gold awards for our work on this. 

Watch Rick Smith deliver a powerful Opening Keynote at TASERCON 2023!

The Arizona Citizens For The Arts reached out to collaborate with us for a batch of vignettes they needed to produce for an upcoming award show. At this year's award show they would be introducing a couple new awards. One of them being the Oonagh Award. Oonagh Boppart was a passionate leader in the arts community. Through her tenacity and fearless spirit, she formed committees devoted to maintaining and improving the arts culture in Arizona. As well as being a proud donor for institutions like the Desert Botanical Garden.

Starting in 2023, they dedicated the longtime advocate with a namesake award. They introduced the new Governors Award as well alongside other established annual awards like Arts Champion Award and the Shelley Award.

Hard Stop

  1. Silver - Elements of Advertising - Video Editing - Hard Stop - TheStopStartsHere.org - Coalition for Youth Drug Abuse Prevention
Ambient Skies - Hard Stop

Hard Stop is taking a firm stance in the fight against Fentanyl. They believe the time is now to act as we’re losing hundreds of adults and kids to this epidemic daily. In “The Call” you’ll witness first hand what it feels like to make the worst call of your life. The call no one wants to make and the call no one wants to receive.

The purpose of this short film and the campaign behind it is to get the public to join the fight and make their voice heard because the sound of silence can be as deafening as it is devastating. We were very proud to bring home an award for this project.

Puma Hoops

  1. Bronze - Online/Interactive - Social Media - Puma Hoops - Puma Hoops with Deandre Ayton
  2. Bronze - Elements of Advertising - Still Photography Campaign - Puma Hoops - Puma Hoops with Deandre Ayton

Talk about throwing it back to the unforgettable day we spent with Deandre Ayton (formerly of the Phoenix Suns). We captured the magic of his new Puma kicks which showcase his dual heritage of Jamaica and The Bahamas. It was a blast collaborating with Now-A-Days and the Puma Hoops people on this special project. Shout out to the team for executing on such a professional level.

Watch our behind-the-scenes video!

We’re so humbled by the response of our friends in the community and we’re just happy to walk away from this inspired and full of excitement for the future and the opportunities to level up and keep creating great work. 2025, we’re coming for you!!!
