(Edmonton, Alberta, November 10, 2009) – The International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA) has awarded DONOVAN CREATIVE eight gold and silver Davey Awards for marketing and communications excellence for the Edmonton International Airport and Northlands. These wins confirm DONOVAN as a major marketing player internationally – in the last three years the company has collected a total of 22 major international awards.
The IAVA awards attracted over 4,000 entries from the best firms in the world with gross billings up to 25 million a year. The awards are considered the largest and most prestigious awards competition for firms of this size.
“We’re extremely pleased to learn we’ve won eight gold and silver awards from this prestigious competition,” said Michael Donovan, President and Creative Director of Donovan Creative. “It’s not always the case that we have a big budget to work with, so these awards reflect the ingenuity and creativity that come out of our agency daily.
