Isthmus took home three Silver ADDY® Awards for the 2007 Fall Abode magazine cover, the Madison’s Favorites editorial spread in Annual Manual 2007 and the Isthmus Personals & Diversions print ad campaign.

Production design artist and photographer Emily Denaro was excited to win her first and second Addy®. “I am pleased that the breadth of my work, from graphic design to copywriting and photography, was recognized by the Madison Ad Federation.”

The awards were presented Saturday, February 23 at the Overture Center for the Arts.
