Deemed “the largest and most prestigious awards competition exclusively for the ‘Davids’ of creativity,” the 18th Annual Davey Awards honors the finest creative work from the best small shops, firms, and companies worldwide. Davey’s are judged by members of the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only member-based organization which includes executives from organizations such as Condé Nast, Disney, GE, Keller Crescent, Microsoft, Monster.com, MTV, Push., Publicis, Sesame Workshops, The Marketing Store, Worktank and Yahoo! and many more.
Founded in 2004 by Mooresville-area resident Danette Amstein and Chicago local Michael Uetz, Midan has approximately 125 employees located across the U.S. It is the first agency of its kind to provide strategic marketing, research and creative services exclusively for the meat industry.
“We’re honored that the Davey Awards has once again singled out Midan for our commitment to championing the value of meat through creative marketing and thought-provoking campaigns,” said Amstein, principal of Midan. “We are humbled to be recognized alongside so many of our talented peers, and proud that our clients rely on us to tell their stories in innovative and exciting ways.”
