Grupo Gallegos Receives Belding Bowl Award

“We are extremely honored to be recognized by The Belding Awards for our work with Foster Farms, which speaks directly to the personalities, views, and culture of the Hispanic population,” said agency CEO John Gallegos. “We believe the award validates our partners at Foster Farm’s commitment to telling their story in an entertaining yet effective way. We look forward to continuing to produce award-winning work with our client.”

The “Transformation” spot parodies one of the most viewed advertisements of last year, Dove’s “Evolution.” It features the Foster Imposters, one enduring hours in a director’s chair being primped and pampered by the other, trying to pass as fresh and natural chickens, like those at Foster Farms. The commercial was produced for television and can also be seen on the Foster Farms website.

The Belding Awards are the highlight event of the advertising community in California, recognizing the best work in television, print, interactive and radio; and they are highly selective. To qualify, entries had to consist of advertising conceived and created in Southern California. The Belding Awards are named after copywriter Don Belding, one of the founders of agency Foote, Cone & Belding.
