Too often in advertising we’re tasked with helping promote products and services that people want, so it’s always a refreshing change of pace when we’re able to create something for people in need.

Last night in Las Vegas, Dunn&Co. was proud to accept both a Silver and a Gold OBIE Award in the Public Service category for our Crisis Center Of Tampa Bay billboard “Stitches of Duty.” The OBIE Awards celebrate excellence in out-of-home advertising and showcases some of the best work our industry has to offer.

The Gold we received was one of only ten Golds awarded this year, and stood alongside work for huge brands like Spotify, McDonalds, OKCupid, Viceland, Universal Studios, and more.

Stitches Of Duty was a billboard created with the donated gear of veteran soldiers as a show of support and solidarity for those struggling to ask for support after returning from active duty. To learn more about the billboard and the veterans who donated to it, check out our case study.
