Partners + Napier Wins Multiple Top Honors at Greater Rochester American Advertising Awards

March 10, 2026

Agency recognized for range of work including cinematic healthcare storytelling and luxury brand design

Partners + Napier’s work was recognized across multiple disciplines at this year’s Greater Rochester American Advertising Awards—from immersive video storytelling to luxury design. The agency earned two “Best of” category honors along with seven Gold and three Silver ADDY Awards, reflecting the breadth of its creative impact across healthcare, wine and spirits, travel, and B2B.

The American Advertising Awards is the industry’s largest and most representative creative competition, honoring excellence at the local, district, and national levels.

This year, Partners + Napier received two of the show’s highest distinctions:

Best of Film, Video & Sound

MD Live by Evernorth – Stuck Spaces

Best of Sales & Marketing

Constellation Brands Schrader – Schrader 25th Anniversary Box

The Best of Film award recognized MD Live’s “Stuck Spaces” campaign, which turns the frustrations of traditional brick-and-mortar healthcare—the gaps in care, long waits, crowded waiting rooms—into surreal visual worlds that reflect how the system can make people feel stuck. The work shows how MD Live helps people get unstuck with immediate access to care, answers without the waiting room, and healthcare on your terms.

The integrated campaign includes 13 videos across four lines of business, running across CTV, Meta, and Reddit. In addition to Best of Film, the campaign earned multiple additional honors and will now advance to compete at the district level.

Best of Sales & Marketing honored the Schrader 25th Anniversary Box for Constellation Brands—a premium designed collector’s piece celebrating the heritage and craftsmanship of one of Napa Valley’s most revered wine brands.

In addition to the “Best of” honors, Partners + Napier received Gold ADDY Awards for:

  • MD Live by Evernorth – Emotional Holding Patterns
  • MD Live by Evernorth – Stuck Spaces
  • MD Live by Evernorth – Eternal Worrying Room
  • Parkview Health – My Cause My Cleats
  • Maimonides Medical Center – Health Campaign
  • Constellation Brands – Schrader 25th Anniversary Logo
  • Corning Optical Communications – Regional Kickoff Video

The agency also earned Silver ADDY Awards for:

  • Constellation Brands – Mi CAMPO x Tinder Collaboration
  • MD Live by Evernorth – Checkup Limbo
  • Royal Caribbean International – Only One

All Gold-winning work will advance to the district level of the American Advertising Awards.

“What’s most exciting about this recognition is the breadth of work being honored,” said Rob Kottkamp, Chief Creative Officer at Partners + Napier. “These wins span multiple clients, categories, and types of ideas. When you see that kind of range recognized across the agency, it’s a reflection of the culture of creativity we’re building."
