The Business Journal walked away a multiple winner at the Fresno Advertising Federation’s American Advertising Awards for its front cover designs.

On Friday at Windsong Productions, the organization hosted students and professionals in the marketing and publishing industries for their annual dinner and award banquet, formerly known as the ADDYs.

Members of the Business Journal’s production team won first place in the Publication Cover Design category for both its 2017 Legal Directory and for its Made in the Central Valley publications.

“It puts the icing on the cake as far as all the hard work we put in all year to come up with the creative aspects of all of our publications,” said Joe Verduzco. “It’s gives us the motivation to try to repeat that for next year.”

The Business Journal has won more than two dozen awards from the Fresno Advertising Federation since its first win in 1999.

Other winners from the night include Catalyst Marketing Company, JP Marketing, Pillar Brands, Cohen Communications and the Jeffrey Scott Agency.
