Noble Takes Home Gold at the 2025 American Advertising Awards

The buzzer has sounded, the confetti has fallen and Noble Studios was cutting down the nets at the 2025 American Advertising Awards (ADDY) hosted by the Reno chapter of the American Advertising Federation. 

Okay, so maybe there weren’t actual buzzers. 

Or nets to cut. 

And the only things falling were empty wine bottles at the Noble Studios tables, but the victory was just as sweet as any championship win.

As Northern Nevada’s most prestigious advertising competition, the American Advertising Awards recognize exceptional creative services work across multiple categories, with winners advancing to district and national levels. 

Read on to discover the winning work that secured our place among advertising’s elite and how our creative victories translate to powerful results for our clients.

The Trophy Case

Noble earned nine prestigious awards at this year’s ADDYs, including four Golds, five Silvers and a coveted Best of Show.

Our winning work showcased:

• Travel Nevada, “Night Skies” – Gold, Best of Show
• Travel Nevada, “Get a Little Out There” – Gold
• Travel Nevada Video Campaign – Gold
• “Silver and Black Saloons” – Gold

Every Travel Nevada entry won an award across multiple categories. The “Night Skies” campaign stood out among the competition, earning both Gold and Best of Show honors for its innovative concept that inspires visitors to experience Nevada’s breathtaking Milky Way views firsthand.

These victories represent countless hours of creative exploration, strategic thinking and meticulous execution by our talented team members. Each winning entry demonstrates Noble’s commitment to boundary-pushing work that delivers meaningful results.

“We don’t do this work for the awards, but it’s always an honor to be recognized for the incredible creativity and collaboration displayed by our team, clients and their other agency partners,” said Creative Director Gabbi Hall. “Every year, we build better and more impactful campaigns together, and explore whole new activations like the pop-up Silver & Black Saloon at Allegiant Stadium and our first Virtual Reality experience. I can’t wait to see what we dream up next.”

We’re incredibly grateful to our team for the passion, collaboration and expertise they bring to every client challenge.

Courtside at the American Advertising Awards

After winning Best of Show last year, our team created “March ADness” – a play on March Madness celebrating our industry’s collegial competition while aligning with NCAA tournament season. Attendees embraced the theme with custom jerseys, referee whistles and vintage college sweatshirts that matched the event’s relaxed atmosphere.

Three Sticks Productions earned this year’s Best of Show award for their exceptional “Omne Trium Perfectum” entry. As frequent collaborators, we proudly celebrated their success alongside our own victories.

This win gives Three Sticks the honor of designing next year’s ADDY theme and creative direction. The torch passes to another talented team in the Reno creative community, and we look forward to seeing their vision for 2026.

Scouting the Future Talent

The ADDYs fulfill a mission beyond celebrating just established agencies. The celebration is a vehicle for investing in tomorrow’s creative leaders. All proceeds fund the AAF Reno Foundation’s scholarships for marketing and advertising students at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC).

These scholarships make a real difference in students’ educational journeys. Even from our table at the ceremony, we could see the genuine emotion on the faces of this year’s student winners as they received their recognition. This is a powerful reminder of what makes this event special each year.

The Post-Game Analysis

As we reflect on another successful ADDYs celebration, we’re filled with gratitude for our dedicated team, supportive clients and the vibrant creative community that surrounds us. These awards represent our collective commitment to Being Better Every Day. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners across agencies and categories. 

Gold trophies are nice, but the real victory is in the results these campaigns delivered for our clients. Want the same winning performance for your brand? Don’t settle for anything less than excellence.
