Irish company John Walsh Music has been awarded Best-in-Show in the commercials category of the International Davey Awards. The honour, which is the highest bestowed by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, was awarded to JWM for their work on the VHI Healthcare television commercial ‘Guardian Angel’.
The winners of the 2005 Davey Awards were announced at a ceremony in New York by the IAVA. John Walsh Music was one of five companies chosen from over 2,000 entrants, to receive the award of Best-in-show. Nominees for this award are chosen from the gold winners in each category. The company was also awarded two gold Daveys: one for the VHI advert and another for Dairygold’s ‘Sunbeams’.
The Davey Awards are international creative awards focused exclusively on honoring outstanding creative work from the best small firms worldwide. Entrants included advertising agencies, interactive agencies, production firms, in-house creative professionals, graphic design firms and PR companies from around the world.
The awards were judged and overseen by the IAVA, a member-based organisation of leading professionals from various disciplines within media, advertising and marketing. Among its members are executives from companies such as Yahoo, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Wired, Adweek, MTV, HBO and Estee Lauder.
John Walsh has previously been awarded an ICAD award for his work with the Irish Defence Forces advertising campaign.
