Lopez Negrete Communications Celebrates 15-Year Winning Streak at 56th American Advertising Awards

Lopez Negrete Communications, Inc. got the nod of approval by the competition’s judges for a wide assortment of work created on behalf of its clients, including Walmart, Community Coffee, Lone Star College, the Houston Dynamo, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and highlighted by a “Best in Show” in the Broadcast category. This marks the 15th consecutive year that the agency has earned “Best in Show” honors.

The Best in Show award was bestowed upon the agency for a commercial entitled “Tribute” for Ram Trucks, which showcases the fact that America was forged by hard work, tenacity and diversity – all the elements which will continue building this country. The spot features a diverse cast of everyday workers from a variety of backgrounds, in a variety of industries, filmed in a variety of settings, all pushing through the harshest of conditions to pay tribute to those who came before them, who also sacrificed to help move this country forward. The piece was filmed by world-renowned director and cinematographer Jeffrey Darling, and featured original music written, performed, recorded and produced by the agency at Houston’s own ZapBoomBang Studios.

Overall, the agency’s spot for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was widely recognized by the judges, as was the spot for long-standing client Walmart. Walmart’s “Life’s Greatest Hits” also garnered Gold in the Campaign category.

“2017 presented our city with its share of challenges and its share of victories. It was very much the case for our agency. We are particularly proud of the body of work our creative teams generated this past year. We believe it speaks to the message of unity and strength through diversity that is so resonant and necessary at this point in time,” stated Lopez Negrete Communications President and CEO Alex López Negrete. “Winning Best of Show honors once again is testament to the love of craft,  trust and partnership that exists between our clients, creative teams and the immensely talented creative and production community we count upon day in and day out,” he added.
