Greenville, SC – February 26, 2018 – Dave McQuaid, vice president of creative and digital at VantagePoint Marketing, has been awarded the Silver Medal Award by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) of Greenville.
The Silver Medal Award, the highest honor awarded by the AAF’s local clubs, recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to advertising, been active in furthering industry standards, exhibited creative excellence and supported community development.
“Dave’s passion for creative advancements in advertising is evident through his reputation in the community,” said Allie Yongue, president of AAF Greenville. “Throughout his 28 years in advertising, he has never ceased to promote the industry, finding ways to improve it and encouraging others to do the same.”
McQuaid has steered the creative direction of VantagePoint for 13 years and has played a major role in helping VantagePoint win the Business Marketing Association (BMA) Carolinas Agency of the Year award nine times. His creative acumen is evident in the nearly 400 regional and national creative and digital awards he and his teams have received during his tenure at VantagePoint and in his previous 15 years as creative director at Bob Jones University.
“I’m surprised and honored by this award,” said McQuaid. “I’ve always felt like I was just another creative struggling to do good work, so to be honored by my peers with this award is incredibly humbling. I hope I have many years ahead of me, supporting the Greenville ad community and creating advertising that gets great results for our clients.”
The Silver Medal Award was presented on Feb. 24 at the annual American Advertising Awards Gala, which recognizes the best in advertising and marketing from area agencies. VantagePoint was also recognized at the gala, receiving two silver ADDY awards for client work. One silver ADDY was presented for a sustainability report created for Wayne Farms, and the second was presented for a vice presidents hall installation for the BMW Plant Spartanburg campus.
