Ad 2 Tampa Bay’s immediate past president, Max Dempster, received the 2018 Pinstripe Service Excellence Award at the American Advertising Federation – Tampa Bay Chapter’s ADDY Awards held on February 21 at Armature Works. Presented annually by past recipients, the award recognizes the young professional who demonstrates the most outstanding contributions to Ad 2 Tampa Bay, the advertising industry, and the community.
Professional development has always been a passion for Dempster. He immediately volunteered for the education committee chair position when he joined Ad 2 Tampa Bay six years ago and subsequently worked in various executive board positions to focus on building his own knowledge as well as that of the members. Each year, he led the initiative to refine and enhance the chapter’s participation in the American Advertising Federation’s Achievement Awards competition which enabled the club to continue its National Club of the Year streak of seven years running. His leadership was recognized by AAF in 2018 when he earned District Club and President of the Year, and National Club and President of the Year honors.
“Max’s contributions to the local advertising industry go far beyond his involvement in Ad 2 Tampa Bay,” said Ginger Reichl, president of Pinstripe Marketing and former Ad 2 president. “He directly oversaw the creation of Tampa Bay’s inaugural Advertising Week that was officially recognized by several local government entities. His leadership is also acknowledged by his frequent invitations to speak at local colleges and universities.”
Dempster is a copywriter at Dunn&Co. in Tampa.
