GRAND RAPIDS, MICH — Michigan-based advertising and design agency, Extra Credit Projects (ECP), has been named a winner in the international 2023 Communication Arts Advertising Annual.
Winning entries are showcased in the November/December issue of the magazine, which is distributed to 25,000 subscribers worldwide. Other top agencies featured include Rethink, Leo Burnett Toronto, and Ogilvy NY, and were judged by top industry professionals from Wieden+Kennedy, MullenLowe, TBWA\Chiat\Day and FCB Chicago.
“Being in this publication among the top advertising agencies from around the world is a big honor,” said Rob Jackson, Founder and Executive Creative Director at Extra Credit Projects. “And to be recognized for work for one of our top local clients is worth celebrating.”
The winning entry was an out of home execution for client Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Promoting their 60th anniversary, and highlighting the ease and convenience of traveling from the West Michigan airport, the billboard used the media in an untraditional way, creating a dimensional illusion illustrating how close your destination can be when you Fly Ford.
