Recently, Global Compliance was excited to learn that we and our partner Allen Interactions, a custom learning design, development and strategic consulting firm, had won a Silver International Davey Award. The award recognizes “Creative Davids,” smaller agencies who deliver on big ideas. This year, our e-learning course Preventing Workplace Harassment and Discrimination won in the Interactive Multimedia – Training category.
We asked other Davey Award winners from 2011 what they thought about winning one of the premier awards in the creative field. Here’s what they had to say:
“We’re always honored to receive an award for our work, but garnering both a gold and silver Davey – an award that recognizes the value of boutique agencies – is particularly exciting. It really helps to affirm the quality of the iPhone app, which was paramount to us from the onset of the project.”—Melody Adhami, COO and Co-founder, Plastic Mobile
“Our Data-Driven Design Process is focused on creating quantifiable results through web strategy, user experience design, and ongoing analytics. We are thrilled to be recognized with six 2011 Davey Awards Gold honors. We live and breathe analytics at Extractable and know that the real currency for success is the impact our work has on a client’s business. Award-winning digital experiences must help an organization better serve the customer and the measurement of that is critical to achieving these kinds of results,”—Craig McLaughlin, CEO, Extractable
“Hinge is proud to be recognized by the Davey Awards. This competition allows smaller creative firms like ours to step out of the large agency forest and cast our own shadow.”—Aaron Taylor, Creative Director and Partner, Hinge Marketing
“It’s an honor to be recognized by The Davey Awards, as they have a long history of highlighting the best creative work among small firms worldwide. Our seven awards are a true testament to our strategic focus and ability to concept and execute top-notch creative solutions for an outstanding group of clients who allow us to collaborate with them on unique communication pieces.”—Michael Overton, Agency Partner and Creative Director, inferno
“The thoughtfulness and personal energy of small creative companies has always been core to our being. It’s amazing when that’s seen, recognized, and rewarded. We’re behind what the Davey Awards stand for and we’re honored that the Davey Awards feel the same about us.”—Pinaki Kathiari, Managing Partner, Local Wisdom
“While we sometimes carry that small-dog-that-doesn’t-know-it’s-small chip on our shoulder, we are truly honored to have won 22 awards (including 3 golds) in this year’s competition. We’re really fortunate to have such great clients that trust our creative process and go down some rather non-conventional paths and allow us to realize their vision in true SBS style. It’s not always about scope, but rather a willingness to perpetually challenge yourself to tell your client’s story in an innovative and creative, yet effective way.”—Shane Santiago, President, SBS Studios
“Being recognized by the Davey Awards is a huge honor, and we are glad there is an awards program out there to honor the creative excellence of smaller agencies. We are extremely proud of the work we create with our clients, and having it go on to be recognized amongst our peers is an added benefit and lets us know we are doing what we strive to – be the best interactive agency we can be. There is nothing better than letting our team and our clients know the project that felt like ‘work’ a few months prior will now bring a shiny new trophy to our offices.”—Tracey Halvorsen, Creative Director and Principal, Fastspot
Global Compliance and Allen Interactions were honored to receive the Silver Davey Award and to share it with such creative and entrepreneurial organizations. We were pleased by the recognition – but even more excited about delivering an award-winning solution to our customers.
