At the American Advertising Federation of Fort Wayne’s 2021 Advertising Honors (Ad Honors, formerly “Addys”), One Lucky Guitar was recognized with Best in Show and Gold Awards for the Northwest Allen County Schools (NACS) rebrand.

Of the work, Gloria Shamanoff, assistant superintendent at NACS, said “They saw our essence; they saw our heart and soul.”
One Lucky Guitar also received Gold Awards for the City of Fort Wayne’s ‘Defend the Fort’ COVID awareness campaign, Landing Beer Company’s launch campaign and Landing Beer Company’s logo.
