NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Concept Farm won the Silver medal for Agency of the year, Northeast and a second Silver for Best Digital Campaign at the 2014 Ad Age Small Agency Awards in Austin last Thursday night. 

Presented by Ad Age, the leading global source of news and intelligence for the marketing and media community, the Small Agency Awards are the premier honors saluting outstanding work created by independent shops with 150 or fewer employees. They were launched six years ago to ensure that the groundbreaking campaigns and brand ideas generated by smaller companies receive the recognition they deserve.

Founded in 1999, Concept Farm is a full-service advertising agency focused on Cultivating Brand Passion. The Digital Campaign of the Year honors was for their "98 Days To Shine" campaign for espnW — a socially activated movement that shined the spotlight on passionate female athletes and fans all summer long, reaching over 17 million social users. Concept Farm's "Happy Returners" campaign for Aruba Tourism, which featured the island's most loyal visitors, helped them take home the Ad Age Small Agency of the Year award, as well as a Effie in April.

"We were blown away by the talent and powerful ideas coming out of the small agency community," said Abbey Klaassen, associate publisher - editorial and audience, Ad Age. "Their ambition and abilities make these kinds of firms highly attractive to clients seeking creative and agile partners – and to potential acquirers."

"At 50 Farmers, we're perfectly sized to think laterally, activate nimbly and make a huge impact for our clients…small is the new big."

The Small Agency Awards were presented during the annual Ad Age Small Agency Conference, which brings together hundreds of marketing, advertising, design, media, and brand professionals to explore trends and issues impacting the nation's small advertising agencies.
