JACKSONVILLE, FL (February 23, 2000) - Jacksonville-based Willman & Company, a full-service advertising, public relations and interactive agency, recently earned ten Addy awards for excellence in advertising and interactive from the Gainesville Advertising Federation's Addy Awards 2000 competition. The agency will receive the awards during ceremonies February 24 at the Savannah Grande in Gainesville, FL.

The agency, whose creative department is led by Jorge Brunet, vice president and creative director, has won four Gold Addy awards for the following:
