2023 AIVA Team Picks - Davey Awards

AIVA Team Picks

We’re still taking in all the brilliant ideas from the winners this season, but our team wanted to highlight a few Gold Award-winning projects that we loved. We are thrilled to honor these small shops that rock.

Lauren’s Picks

1. What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood by Adalyst Media
2023 Gold Award – Podcasts: Features – Best Co-Hosts
2023 Gold Award – Podcasts: Individual Episodes – Advice
2023 Silver Award – Podcasts: Individual Episodes – Interview or Talk

“Full disclosure, I chose this podcast because one of the hosts is my cousin! I promise that I have no bearing on the scores, but was so thrilled that the Jury came back with these Golds, because a) the podcast is so funny, smart and achingly relatable and b) a different result would have made for supremely awkward holiday conversation. Good work and many thanks AIVA Jurors!”

“It’s hard to be surprised and entertained by a commercial these days, but this ad genuinely surprised me and made me laugh. It was created by Sovereign Media, a small team in San Angelo, Texas, and I think it’s a perfect representation of the type of work the Davey Awards celebrates; simple, impactful, original, and produced on a small budget.”
