We would like to announce that Diligent has taken home a total of three 2008 Davey Awards.  For the full press release you can go here.

First off, the project we did for Parrot with Ground Zero Agency, “Kid Fails Driving Test”, has won two Gold Davey Awards in this years competition.  There were many people that made that project such a success, but we’d like to thank Advertising Agency, Ground Zero, for making the project one of our best of 2008.

Now, onto the Davey Awards… here’s a little blurb about them:

“The International Academy of the Visual Arts was honored to have once again participated in the International Davey Awards competition.  We were truly amazed and excited at the overall caliber and quality of this year’s pool of entries” noted Linda Day, Executive Director of the IAVA.  She added “The Davey Awards serves as the benchmark for recognizing creative excellence and continues to raise the bar in honoring the best work from small agencies and firms worldwide.  Congratulations to the “Creative Davids” at the forefront of their industry, helping to push the limits in creativity and design.
