Summertime. We’ve been talking about it a lot lately. It’s a time when workloads used to slow down and now ramp up. A time for juggling staff vacations, corralling eager interns, and finding ways to recharge your team’s batteries. Here at IHAF, summer is also a time to recognize the work that in-house agencies like yours have been doing all year long.

With planning in full swing, our esteemedpanel of judges is gathering in two weeks to evaluate the 400+ submissions we received across a dozen categories for the 2013 IHAF Awards. Entries poured in all summer—and as we opened each one, we were captivated by your creativity. It’s going to be tough for the judges to choose just one “Best of Show” from such an impressive pool of talent.

Didn’t enter the IHAF Awards? There’s still time to win. The 2013 In-House Agency of the Year call for nominations is underway now, through August 30th. Has your team made a measurable impact on your company this past year? Tell us your story and you could walk away with the coveted In-House Agency of the Year Award.

Winners across both competitions will be announced at the IHAF Awards Show & Annual Conference on October 16-17 in Boston, MA. Reserve your tickets before September 1st to take advantage of early-bird pricing. The IHAF Awards Show & Annual Conference is our biggest event of the year—we look forward to seeing you there!
