Over the past few years, it has been truly remarkable to watch what was once a market that was dominated by a very small handful of agencies grow into a thriving “ad town” whose work can regularly compete with the best in the country. Every year the body of work submitted to the American Advertising Awards (the ADDYs) continues to grow in quality and scale (and this year’s entries were no exception). It has been my great honor to serve as your president this year, and I am so proud of all of the work we will be showcasing at this year’s American Advertising Awards event. I would also like to thank all of the valuable sponsors that have helped make this event possible: Clear Channel Outdoor Entourage Jazz Free Karate Design Heritage AV Live Nation March Direct Marketing McKee Wallwork & Co.

Sterling first honed his craft as a commercial editor and director by working along side his father (Silver Medal Winner, Sterling Grant Jr.) at Sterling Sterling Grant III Productions. Sterling III would later move on to become one of the most sought after editors and directors working in the state of New Mexico. His work has received numerous ADDY awards as well as top honors at a variety of respected film festivals. Within our advertising community, Sterling was known for his extreme talent and larger than life persona. It is my great honor to award this year's President's Award to Sterling Grant III. About the President’s Award The President’s Award was created in 1997 to recognize companies and individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to the advertising profession in New Mexico. The award is different from the Silver Medal Award in that it may recognize a company; a person who has contributed a single, yet significant achievement; or a younger individual who has not yet established a lifetime of accomplishment. 4 American Advertising Federation New Mexico | American Advertising Awards 2014 SILVER MEDAL AWARD Mary Lynn Roper This year's Silver Medal Award goes to Ms. Mary Lynn Roper. Ms. Roper is currently the President and GM of KOAT and considered one of the most influential broadcast decision makers in New Mexico.
