USF Lakeland Campaign Receives Silver Addy Award

LAKELAND, FL (April 2, 2003) - Passengers along Polk county’s major thoroughfares may have noticed some new produce alongside the road lately. The produce in question may be found on the billboards featuring USF Lakeland’s new “Stand Out” campaign featuring normally colored produce, such as eggs, tomatoes, peanuts and strawberries, with one blue piece of produce standing out among the others. The campaign urges prospective students to “Stand Out” from the crowd with a degree from USF Lakeland.

The campaign is the brainchild of Mark Potter, sub-contractor for Lakeland Outdoor Advertising. The “Stand Out” campaign recently received high accolades from the Imperial Polk Advertising Federation in the form of a Silver Addy. As stated in literature distributed as part of the Addy Awards, the “competition is a creative excellence competition designed to recognize the very best advertising in the Polk County area. It is the first stage in a three-tiered national competition conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation. The Addy Awards are the industry’s largest and most representative competition for creative excellence.”
