Red Door’s Beer:30 boxcar wins at the San Diego ADDYs
Every year, Red Door enters top creative to the San Diego ADDYs Creative Show. We’ve walked away with numerous awards over the years, but never anything quite like this.
This year, the San Diego Ad Club decided to host the first annual Pinewood Derby contest where local agencies race in-house designed boxcars. The Pinewood Derby supports this years ADDYs theme “Your ideas have legs. Now let’s see if they have wheels.” There were four awards given: Fastest, Slowest, Most Creative and Best Representation of an Agency.
The Red Door Creative team got together to concept some original ideas for our car while enjoying some Fat Tires during Red Door’s Beer:30. Beer:30 is a weekly event on Fridays held to boost morale by claiming 3:30 as “beer:30” and encouraging employees to take a quick break while enjoying a nice, cold beer if they choose. So, with a few gulps of beer in us, what better idea then to make a Beer:30 boxcar! Our own Red Door brew to race down the tracks at the derby. Thanks to Will Hansen, Interactive Designer at Red Door, and his mad dremel skills, here is the final product:
The car represents the recent addition of Red Door Denver with the Fat Tire cap, and an agency branded label designed by Jeannie Fratoni, Red Door’s Creative Director, and Michelle Peck, Interactive Designer.
There was much hooting and hollering at the ADDYs Raid/Pinewood Derby last Friday evening as our Creative Team watched the Beer:30 car race down the tracks. While it wasn’t the fastest car of the bunch, it definitely stood out in the crowd. During the award ceremony, with gag-gift like trophies such as a toilet seat and brick, Red Door took home the golden prize (or golden syrup bottle) of Best Representation of an Agency. So, I guess our slogan “The best hour for freshly brewed ideas” proved to be true at the Pinewood Derby.
Wish us luck. We find out if we receive an award for our creative work at the ADDYs Creative Gala on March 20th.

Nice work guys! Top notch car, though the subject matter would get you disqualified from the Cub Scout version!
Best,
T.
Yeah, this is no Cub Scout competition, ha! It was such a fun event since our industry is so competitive as it is with the work that we do. It was nice to have our team come together and win this local award that best represented Red Door over the other agencies. We all have such passion for what we do and this is a great example of that!
Great job guys… Nice Work!!!

San Diego California is an ideal place to be driving your car around with a hot design popping off of it. Car Advertising in San Diego is an important and potentially profitable form of advertising for your business. As we discussed a moment ago, you have the potential for your vehicle graphics to be seen by millions of people, there is no monthly fee to maintain them, and the initial investment is typically much less than the long term return.
Wraps provide you the option of utilizing unused space. This gives a better look to your vehicle as well as more visibility to your company. The agents in San Diego do the job for you and you get the desired results in no time. Your advertisement is displayed on a fleet of cars and gives your visibility in virtually every zone possible. The cars go to places and thus your advertisement. It is better way of giving optimum visibility to your company and give more visibility to your products and services. Wherever the cat goes, your message goes along. It is virtually the company going mobile.
So you see, there are mountains of benefits to having a car wrap put on your business vehicle and not many downsides. And with proper care of your car wrap the benefits only increase, because the better shape it stays in, the longer it will last, the more advertising you are getting for your money.
Car wraps can turn your car expenses into tax deductible business expenses. All the while, giving you a huge advertising bang for your advertising dollar. A car wrap will turn your car into your own private moving bill board. The novelty of car wraps means that your message is seen, heard and remembered. This is one of the hottest promotional tools of the times.
