The Pollie Awards are awarded annually to recognize excellence in political advertising, and they are billed by Esquire Magazine as the “Oscars of Political Consulting.”
“Personally, I have never been a big awards person, but the fact that Ozean is competitive with political consultants from Washington and around the nation, makes this one special,” said Alex Patton, owner of Ozean.
The award was announced at the 20th Annual Pollie Awards & Conference held March 9-11 at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC.
The Pollie awarded for a radio commercial produced for the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee for the annual Black Tie and Blue Jeans Dinner, entitled “Zombie Black Tie and Blue Jeans”.
“What allowed this to be successful is a client willing to task risks and push the envelope a little bit, we thank the ACREC,” commented Alex Patton. “While I am proud of the award, the highlight of the event was meeting University of Florida graduate and Washington consultant Charlie Black – THAT guy is a legend,” concluded Alex Patton.

We can’t release any additional details regarding Ozean’s win – because we don’t know any. We have been notified that Ozean Consulting has won an award hailed as the “Oscars of Political Advertising”.
Winners, selected by a panel of judges representing the industry’s best campaigning experts, will be announced at the Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. Winners represent the latest talent and techniques in this 8 billion dollar industry.
It is a very strange feeling in that I have not ever been a big award person, but in this case Ozean is excited about the win. Too often political advertising is looked down on by the “real” advertising community – at times making me want to scream – “It is 9 pm – you design a piece tonight that moves a measurable needle 10 points-with little budget-in a crowded cluttered environment-NOW-and if you don’t you are fired-absolutely no second chances-see you in the morning!”
