Jodie Pundsack, AAF 2023 Silver Medal Award Winner
Creative. Inspirational. Kind. These are just a few words to describe Gaslight Creative’s award-winning co-founder, Jodie Pundsack.
Not only has Jodie helped lead the team at Gaslight Creative to win more than 130 American Adveritisng Awards in just fourteen years, she now gets to hold the title of American Advertising Federation (AAF) Silver Medal Award winner. As part of the 2023 American Advertising Awards competition, Jodie was awarded this prestigious honor in front of her peers. And while Jodie was surprised, the team at Gaslight was not. In our mind, this award was a long time coming.
What is the Silver Medal Award?
Established in 1959, the AAF’s Silver Medal Award Program recognizes men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and have been active in furthering the industry’s standards, creative excellence, and responsibility in areas of social concern.
Jodie’s accomplishments include leading Gaslight’s seven-person creative team, mentoring area students, advocating for creative strategy and her versatility as a marketing professional. Trained in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Jodie has taken her career to new heights by pushing the limits daily. She is always ready for the next challenge. Her ability to create brands and tell a story with every color, font, and fine detail is truly something special. Anyone that has had the pleasure of working alongside Jodie is sure to become a stronger, more well-rounded designer and creative.
“Jodie leads by example, digging deep within herself to produce excellent, meaningful work, and her passion and diligence is contagious. She makes us all better at what we do.”
