Brandon earned top honors at the American Advertising Federation (AAF) Charleston ADDY Awards, taking home Best of Show, multiple Gold awards, and a slate of Silver wins across campaign and single categories.

The recognition reflects the agency’s continued focus on work that connects, performs, and holds up under real-world pressure.

“This kind of recognition is always meaningful, but what matters most is the work behind it,” said Austin Scott, Chief Creative Officer at Brandon. “Every one of these projects started with a real challenge to solve. The team pushed, questioned, and kept refining until the ideas were as strong as they could be. That’s what shows up in the final work.”

All Gold-winning entries will advance to the AAF District competition, where they’ll compete against top work from across the region, with a path to the national stage. For Brandon, the momentum matters just as much as the recognition. The work continues, the bar gets higher, and the focus stays the same: building ideas that earn attention, drive results, and hold up wherever they show up.

If you want work that hits harder, moves faster, and actually delivers, drop us a line and let’s build something that doesn’t just compete, it wins.
