BADC announces Light + Shade as premium sponsor of BADC Awards as tickets go on sale

It’s no secret that Brisbane is home to some of the brightest creative minds in Australia, and with the annual Brisbane Advertising and Design Club (BADC) awards fast approaching, production company Light + Shade has solidified its support by stepping up to take over the mantle from The Empire Post’s two year reign to become this year’s platinum sponsor. The Empire Post remains as a valued gold sponsor.

Celebrating its 43rd year, BADC is the longest serving industry club of its kind in Australia and with a record number of entries for 2017, BADC President Garry Smith says the support of Light + Shade further highlights the importance of the BADC Awards to the industry.

Says Smith: “We’re thrilled to welcome Light + Shade back to the BADC family at an elevated sponsorship status this year, and not only are they sponsoring the Awards Night but also the After Party, so it is sure to be another fantastic night. Celebrating the advertising and design industry’s creative talents with such great support and backing from some of Brisbane’s top companies is a real privilege. BADC is an ideal platform to help sponsors raise their profile across the industry, and we’re proud to have Light + Shade on board at this level for 2017.”

Light + Shade co-director, Josh Zaini says aligning with BADC offers a unique opportunity to support the best and brightest in the advertising and design community.

Says Zaini: “Brisbane is a bubbling pot of creative talent and we are thrilled to be throwing our support behind such a renowned event which celebrates great ideas within our local industry.

“Brisbane is well and truly on the map and the work stemming from our city is absolutely world class and we cannot wait to see the standard from this year’s entries.”

The BADC awards is Brisbane’s only creative advertising and design awards with over 550 people attending last year’s event.

Says Smith: “With a record number of entries this year, it is shaping up to be a fantastic night yet again.”
