Samara Gonzalez of Effort has earned an ADDY Award at the Annual American Advertising Federation/Greater Lehigh Valley AD Club awards, presented on March 1.

Four Northampton Community College students and two alumni were recognized at the awards ceremony.

The ADDY is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition and is the industry’s equivalent of an Oscar for film or a Grammy for music.

Gold winners on the regional level are eligible to compete in the national contest.
