Dallas-based Hispanic agency Dieste earned a total of 6 awards in the 2008 edition of Creativity Awards, the 38th year of the prestigious international advertising and graphic design competition that reviews top creative from the industry. The agency was the top winning U.S. Hispanic ad agency this year. The Creativity Awards Annual is a trusted source of inspiration for creatives worldwide.

This year, work done on behalf of clients Intestate Batteries and Pine-Sol received recognition in the pages of the book. Two TV executions for Interstate Batteries were recognized with Gold, while work done on behalf of Pine-Sol, Clorox and Interstate Batteries won Silver. A TV spot created for Pine-Sol called “Shame” that features a family having dinner with a teenage daughter and her boyfriend playing footsie under the table, received Silver. The spot has been one of the most-awarded ads created by the agency to date.

This year, judges from some of the United States’ most prestigious design firms evaluated the work produced by their peers and students.
