Several area companies were recognized in March as Fountain Award winners. The awards highlight programs and campaigns focused on advertising and marketing.

candid was recently honored with two Fountain Awards and three Certificates of Merit from the Association of National Advertisers/American Marketing Association of Kansas City (ANAKC/AMAKC) at the annual Fountain Awards.

candid was tasked to name and create the branding for the organization. Keeping the branding of the city in mind, complementary colors and language was used in the ElevateEdgerton! brand.

This project was an integrated campaign to attract data centers while educating and communicating the benefits of locating to the KCP&L service territory.

The City of Edgerton was looking for a new and fresh logo/brand to go along with some major changes that were happening in the city — particularly a huge project that would dramatically change the community — which was underway.

With new leadership, a local construction company was looking to rename and rebrand. This 20+ year-old company had many relationships in the local market, but was looking to expand its footprint into other markets.

For LCDC, we refreshed the messaging and updated the organization’s branding including building a library of photos.

For this project we named and branded the new transloading company.

For this project we concepted several name and brand elements to bring 5 current companies under one growing holding company brand.

We had a great time last night at the BMA of Kansas City + AMA-KC Fountain Awards. We have great clients who allow us to fabulous work! #candidproud #fountain18 #5submissions5awards
