What’s a SIAA Anyways?

The SIAA began in 2003 to recognize the advertising excellence of the service industry. Other advertising awards are dominated by consumer goods, packaged goods and other tangible products. The SIAA is the only advertising awards to specifically recognize the creativity and communication accomplishments of the service industry.

This year, there were over 1,600 entries from more than 525 advertising agencies and over 730 institutions. 282 entries were awarded and only 6 received Best of Show. Entries were rated in 8 groups and 26 categories. A national panel of judges reviewed every entry based on execution, creativity, quality, consumer appeal, and overall breakthrough.
