Events Calendar

Agency people may be a lot of fun but they're also professional. So are our regular events, ranging from panels of our industry’s best discussing hot topics to casual after-hours mixers where we basically goof off while we network.

ADDY Winners: How They Did It

What Does It Take to Win Best in Show?

We've all aspired to do work that gets noticed.

Few ever get recognized with awards, much less win Best in Show or Judges' Choice at the American Advertising Awards.

So many things have to line up to get there, but when they do, it's a special thing.

Case Studies. Visuals. Secrets.

We're bringing past winners of our top awards to the stage to share their stories of creating award-winning work.

You'll hear the real scoop on how great creative gets made from people who were part of making it happen.

Tony Fulgham

Executive Creative Director
All is Well

I am a writer, director, musician and generally a maker of things from films to furniture. I have years of experience as a commercial director and brand storyteller, and for ten years I was the owner and Executive Creative Director of World Famous, the production company I founded in 2005. I've also written and directed a number of short films that have been well received on the national film festival circuit.

In January 2018 I decided to walk the talk and start an original content development company called All is Well. Along with brand films and commercial production we are in development on two shows and two feature films coming soon to some sort of screen near you.

COLOR

I fuse my background in indie film, my enterprise tech experience, and my pastime of touring in a punk band to bring a fresh approach to the creation of smart, creative content. I've worked in over 40 countries and 100 different cities. So I'm also excellent at getting through airport security.
