Winning creative work hits differently when it’s built with heart, strategy, and a whole lot of teamwork, and this year, Ro•Sham•Bo Creative walked away from the 2026 AAF Black Hills American Advertising Awards with two shiny new ADDYs to prove it.
We’re thrilled to share that our team earned awards for:
🏆 Hill City Area Chamber of Commerce – Website Redesign
🏆 Ro•Sham•Bo Creative – Online/Interactive Consumer Website (Rebrand)
These wins reflect the craft, collaboration, and creativity that fuel everything we do, and we couldn’t be prouder of the people behind them.
Huge congratulations to Reba Sabo, Andrew Jensen, Lauren Ebert, Vincent King, and the entire Ro•Sham•Bo team for this incredible recognition!

Celebrating the Hill City Area Chamber of Commerce Website Redesign
If you’ve ever visited Hill City “the Heart of the Hills” you know it’s packed with energy, hospitality, and natural wonder. When the Hill City Area Chamber of Commerce approached us, they needed a website that captured all that charm and supported their growing tourism and business communities.
Our redesign focused on:
- A clean, intuitive user experience
- New navigation structure that actually gets people where they want to go
- A modern visual identity that reflects Hill City’s personality
- Streamlined event and business directory systems
- A design that moves (literally)inviting users deeper into the story
You can explore the full breakdown in our case study, but here’s the short version:
A more dynamic Hill City deserved a more dynamic digital home and the ADDY judges agreed.
Our Own Rebrand: A Win That Hits Home
Winning an ADDY for our own online rebrand feels extra special.
Our goal?
Build a brand and website that better reflects who Ro•Sham•Bo Creative is today:
- More modern, more confident, more elevated
- A little Midwest grit, a lot of design obsession
- Positioned for the clients (and challenges) we’re built to serve
- Clearer voice, sharper visuals, stronger storytelling
- An online experience that lives and breathes movement
This wasn’t just a facelift. It was a reimagining of how we present our work, our values, and our personality. To see it recognized by the AAF Black Hills is incredibly validating and gives our team even more fuel for what’s coming next!
Proud of the Work. Proud of the Team. Proud of What’s Ahead.
The ADDYs exist to celebrate excellence in advertising. But for us, the real celebration is in recognizing the creativity, strategy, and late‑night “one more revision” moments that make award‑winning work possible.
To our clients: Thank you for trusting us with your brands and your vision.
To our team: Thank you for pushing boundaries, asking better questions, and crafting work that doesn't just look good - it moves the needle.
To the AAF Black Hills: Thank you for championing local creativity in our region.
And of course:
Here’s to more big ideas, bold websites, and unforgettable brands in 2026!
