AdEase is proud to announce it has won three awards in the 2013 AVA Digital Awards. The AVA Digital Awards competition is an international competition that recognizes outstanding work by creative professionals involved in the concept, direction, design and production of digital communication.
As part of the Know the Signs campaign, a multi-faceted suicide prevention campaign designed to educate about the warning signs of suicide, the website www.suicideispreventable.org earned a Platinum Award, the AVA Digital Awards’ highest honor. Additionally, a :15 online video component of the Know the Signs campaign, earned a Gold Award in the Video for Web/Government category and Honorable Mention in the Creativity/Special Effects category.
There were about 2,000 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries in the 2013 competition. Entrants included digital professionals from audio, video and film production companies; web developers; advertising agencies; PR firms; corporate and government communication departments; and independent creative professionals such as designers, producers, directors, editors and shooters.
