Great storytelling leaves a lasting impression — whether it’s a high-energy sports intro, a heartwarming nonprofit feature or a creative campaign that turns heads. This year at Trilix and Trilix Studio, our dedication to bold ideas and compelling narratives was recognized in a big way by the American Advertising Federation of Des Moines. And, as last year’s Best of Show winner, we were honored to conceptualize and create the music-driven theme, “Bring the Noise,” for this year’s show.

The American Advertising Awards is one of the industry’s most prestigious competitions, honoring outstanding work across multiple creative disciplines. We’re thrilled to announce that Trilix and our client partners brought home 11 awards from our local competition, including four golds and seven silvers, celebrating some of the best creative work in film, video, branded content and motion design.
