In the world of advertising awards shows, none are more highly thought of than the RMA’s (as they’re called in the business by the ultra-pretentious). We may not have won the $100,000 Grand Prize, but as they say, “There’s always next year, loser.” A random photo of Tracy and Chip and some other awards-goers, below.

In a blatantly obvious ploy to sucker Crowell employees into inundating the office with communal brownies, Travis Gray organized a brownie bake-off contest in “honor” of Nina Lynch’s birthday. Jill won 1st place; Kim won 2nd place; Anna won 3rd place; and Travis won some lame award called “Best Presentation” because Nina felt sorry for him.

No news here, really. Just a creepy photo we thought you’d like to see.

Crowell employee Adam Bramwell has been crowned/debased by winning eBay’s competition for the worst ID photo in the state. The competition was held over a three week period at a series of free rock concerts held at the Gallivan Center – after winning a preliminary round, he was then automatically entered into the finale competition, in which he crushed the competition. The ID photo in question, seen below, is entitled “FULL COLOR GLORY” for obvious reasons.

There have been a lot of great gifts given at Crowell over the years. Inflatable toast. Squirrel underpants. A lobster harmonica. Interesting, yes, but where’s the pizzazz, where’s the wow-factor, where’s the pooper-scooper?

Why did we do it? Because it costs less than a dollar per foot. Do you really need a better reason? Besides, if you can think of a better way to test the safety of our safety goggles, we’d like to hear it.

What do Crowell creatives have that the rest of us don’t? An extra stomach? A third nipple? Trendy sunglasses? There’s only one way to find out - scalpel, STAT!

Crowell just launched a new series of TV ads starring a toy named Smokerman who can’t keep up with other action figures because he smokes cigarettes.
