I just won a Silver at Davey Awards!

The first important awards competition exclusively for the "Davids" of creativity.

David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock - the sort of thing small firms do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the "Creative Davids" who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than stratospheric budgets.

Think of yourself as a "David?" Then enter the Davey Awards, the first major awards competition specifically for smaller firms, where you compete with your peers to win the recognition you deserve.

View the Davey Award.

IAVA members include executives from organizations such as Alloy, Coach, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, Fry Hammond Barr, HBO, iNDELIBLE, Wunderman, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Refinery, Sotheby's Institute of Art, Victoria's Secret, Wired, Yahoo! and many more.
