SweetRush takes home two awards in a highly competitive field of nearly 4,000 submissions.
San Francisco, California -December 10, 2016 – The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts recently announced the 2016 Davey Awards winners, and SweetRush was honored with two awards.
SweetRush received a silver award in the “Online Film/Video – Education” category for a motivational teaser video produced as part of a learning program for Hilton’s HHonors loyalty program.
The second award, for a serious game produced for Bridgestone Americas that simulates a day in the life of a tire sales associate, was given a silver in the “Interactive Multimedia Training (Corporate)” category.
“The learning and development industry has always had to contend with much more limited resources when compared to advertising and marketing budgets, but that doesn’t mean creativity must be sacrificed,” said Arturo Schwartzberg, Co-Founder of SweetRush. “These awards highlight the creative spark that our team brings to learning programs—in this case, through interactive multimedia and video. It’s that something extra that really engages the learner audience.”
“The winners in this year’s competition truly reflect the notion of small agencies executing big ideas,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Davey Awards. “The work entered into this year’s Daveys portrays the smart approach to creativity that embodies the capabilities and talents of small firms across the world.”
