SoftVu Wins Multiple Silver Davey Awards in International Competition

Overland Park, KS, December 20, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Two Silver Awards from the Davey Awards, sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, were received by SoftVu in October. This is the second year in a row the marketing automation company has received recognition in the Davey’s. The recent awards honored rich media commercials and campaigns in the business-to-consumer online advertising category. The projects were created for SoftVu clients including American Heritage Lending, (A Better Way), and for a major national bank.

With more than 4,000 entries from across the U.S. and around the world, the Davey Awards honor the finest creative work from the best small firms, agencies and companies worldwide. The annual international program acknowledges the achievements of the "Creative Davids" who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than big budgets.

Judged and overseen by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), a 200+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts, IAVA is dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media. Current IAVA membership represents a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms including Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Yahoo!, Estee Lauder, Wired, Insight Interactive, The Webby Awards, ADWEEK, Alloy, Coach, MTV, HBO, Myspace.com, and many others.

“This underscores the talent and dedication of our creative department. It is always a rewarding experience to receive recognition in the creative industry,” said Tim Donnelly, founder and president of SoftVu. “Our team of flash designers and copywriters work collaboratively with our clients to ensure our communications are not only engaging, but also have a strategically focused marketing message to achieve the greatest results. In both these campaigns, sales increased significantly for our clients. That’s goal number one for SoftVu.”

The financial services industry is a niche SoftVu has successfully served since 2002. Online lenders rely on the marketing automation company’s proprietary software platform to distribute online campaigns which are created by SoftVu’s in-house creative department.
