AWARDS SEASON 2012

Is it starting all over again? We just received an email alerting us that the call for next year’s HSMAI Adrian Awards opens July 15. And the madness begins again. While Zapwater has always been proud of the awards we’ve won in the past, 2012 was an exceptionally great year for our agency. We took home 19 awards on the regional, national and global stage. And since we won a Gold Sabre for Best Fashion and Beauty Campaign, Americas, we're automatically a finalist for the Global Sabre in the same category. Stay tuned...
