Small Agencies. Big Ideas.
That’s the slogan of the Davey Awards. And with five winning entries in this year’s competition, Pipitone Group (PG) likes to think we embody that same principle.
Now in the competition’s 12th year, the Davey Awards recognize the achievements of the “Creative David’s” who rely on the strength of big ideas and innovation.
This year, PG earned three Gold Awards—the competition’s highest honor—to go along with a pair of Silver Awards to bring our 2016 total to a whopping 22 awards!
“It’s an honor to be recognized on a national scale on behalf of our clients,” said Pipitone Group President and CEO Scott Pipitone. “Being a mid-sized and independent agency, we take pride in the innovative ideas of our creative professionals that helped our clients earn these awards.”
