Gonna Be Golden: Celebrating Creative Success at the AAF-Dayton Hermes Awards

ON March 18, 2026

Hollywood has the Emmys, the Grammys, the Oscars, and, if you’re Broadway inclined, the Tonys.

Here at OG, our awards season includes the annual AAF-Dayton Hermes Awards, the first of a three-tier national competition for excellence in marketing, advertising, and design.

This year, our team received a total of 5 individual awards, including a “Best in Class” Hermes Head in the highly competitive Film, Video & Sound category for Cleared for Adventure — an ambitious video campaign highlighting our client Hartzell Propeller’s advanced carbon fiber composite airplane propellers in action across the country. The cinematic video also received a Judge’s Choice award, a special distinction and a testament to the storytelling and creativity behind the piece.

We are so honored to share these awards with our valued clients and creative partners. Together, we create the future! Keep scrolling to see all of our creative pieces that were awarded this year.
