About The Hatch Awards

Celebrating its 62nd year, the Hatch Awards is New England’s annual award for creative branding and marketing. With award categories ranging from print to video, audio to digital, mobile, and web-based content, the Hatch Awards continue the tradition of celebrating the very best in creative excellence in the region.

A History of 62 years of brilliant Hatch work

Sixty-two years ago, the leaders of the Greater Boston advertising community began the tradition of honoring their peers for creative excellence in their field. In choosing the title of this event, it was decided that it would carry the name of a person who was respected for the qualities for which The Advertising Club stood. That name was unanimously selected: Francis W. Hatch.

Francis Hatch began his 40+ year advertising career in the Boston branch of Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (later to become the internationally famous BBDO) where he helped build the foundation of New England advertising. A poet, playwright, songster, and storyteller, he chronicled history as he knew it and lived it.

Francis, also known as Frank, was a humanitarian and a leader in the community with a firm belief that it is good for the advertising industry to devote time to public service. He gave his time and energy to the Red Cross, the Red Feather, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and other organizations. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. That inspiration still permeates across our industry. And in a period of time where inspiration is needed most, we are grateful for that.

In these six decades since, The Hatch Awards have taken many forms – from live judging to formal galas, to crazy celebrations at The House of Blues. One thing, however, has remained consistent, the vast amount of incredible work coming out of this immensely talented creative community.

Hatch has become the place that creatives gather, drinks are raised and the community comes together to commiserate, celebrate and applaud the industry that we all so love. We look forward to celebrating with you all again in 2023.
