Inside every issue of 417 Magazine, Biz 417417 Home and 417 Bride, you'll find beautiful advertisements for local businesses. Fun fact: The majority of those messages are designed in-house, free of charge by 417's award-winning Advertising Design department. 

For the past three years, 417 has sent its best advertising design work off to The American Advertising Awards, home of the ADDY® Award, in hopes of gaining recognition for top-notch creative messaging and design. As luck may have it, we've earned accolades each year in what is considered to be one of the industry's largest creative competitions. Nearly 35,000 professional and student entries are submitted annually. 

On February 23, our luck continued: Creative for both John's Suit Shop and Atlas Security were awarded under the Print: Magazine Advertising Campaign category.
