(New York, New York, November 2008) -- The International Academy of the Visual Arts has awarded Donovan Creative Communications (DCC) three silver Davey Awards for outstanding branding, communications and web development work for Alberta Employment and Immigration (AEI) and Edmonton International Airport (EIA).
DCC received the awards in the categories of government website, travel website and annual report. The recognized work included brand positioning and imaging for the main province of Alberta web portal, Alberta-Canada.com (including Immigration and Productivity microsites); flyeia.com, EIA's corporate website; and EIA's 2007 annual report, both of which were major parts of a complete brand development and roll out that DCC undertook for EIA in 2007-2008.
"This has been an incredible year for Donovan Creative," says DCC President and Creative Director, Michael Donovan. "These multiple, back-to-back awards prove that even the mid-sized agencies like ours can really deliver on expertise, creativity and execution. And that we continue to win international awards outside of Canada speaks to the quality of the work coming out of our company. We're proud and fortunate to have such amazing clients with the vision to do what it takes strategically to stand out in the market. We share these awards with them as well."
The Davey Awards recognize outstanding work by the best small firms worldwide, the "Creative David's who derive their strength from big ideas rather than stratospheric budgets." This year's contest included more than 4,000 entries from advertising agencies, interactive agencies, production firms, design firms and public relations firms from around the world with yearly billings of up to $25 million.
In September 2008, DCC won multiple gold awards at the Airports Council International Excellence in Marketing and Communications Contest held in Boston, Massachusetts, including the contest's top honour, the prestigious Peggy G. Hereford Award (awarded to the best entries for marketing communications excellence). The ACI awards recognized DCC's creative and strategic work in rebranding and marketing Edmonton International Airport, one of the fastest growing airports in North America, serving close to 7 million passengers yearly.
In 2007, Donovan Creative won the ACI first prize in the category of Partnering with Carriers.
