HOME Agency Wins Multiple Honors at the 2026 American Advertising Awards

People-first startup agency recognized in its first year for digital, brand, and storytelling work across multiple client projects

TRAVERSE CITY, MI —HOME Agency has been recognized with multiple honors at the 2026 American Advertising Awards, marking a significant milestone in the agency’s first year.

The agency received four awards across digital experience, brand identity, and content categories, including a Best of Show Amy Award and Gold ADDY for website design and development, a Gold ADDY for integrated brand identity, a Gold ADDY for logo design, and a Silver ADDY for video storytelling.

The awards recognized a range of work created by HOME in collaboration with its clients, including a website redesign and brand refresh for Slow Burn Theatre Co., a South Florida theatre company known for producing Broadway-caliber productions, logo and identity development for the Mill District, a new mixed-use lakeside destination in Traverse City, and a webisode produced for MuseumNext, an international conference and learning platform serving museum professionals worldwide, exploring how cultural institutions can use digital storytelling to strengthen fundraising and audience engagement.

Founded on the belief that creative work should be both strategic and human-centered, HOME Agency partners with organizations to clarify their story, strengthen their brand, and create meaningful connections with the audiences and communities they serve.

The American Advertising Awards, conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation, is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, recognizing creative excellence at the local, district, and national levels.

“These awards are especially meaningful in our first year,” said Marivi Bryant, Founder of HOME Agency. “They reflect the trust our clients place in us and the collaborative spirit behind the work we create together.”
