Thunderly's Double Win at the 22nd Annual Davey Awards

Celebrating Creative Excellence in Franchise Marketing

In an impressive showcase of creativity and ingenuity, Thunderly, a full-service franchise marketing agency, has garnered notable recognition at the 22nd Annual Davey Awards. This annual event, which honors the finest achievements from small teams and indie creators, bestowed upon Thunderly not one, but two Silver Awards in various categories for their innovative franchise video campaigns.

A Closer Look at the Winning Entries

The first accolade was awarded in the Online Advertising & Marketing category for the heartwarming video titled “A Day in the Life of a BNI Franchisee.” This narrative-driven piece follows Shirley Towne, a franchisee from the South Carolina Midlands, as she attends a weekly chapter meeting. Viewers gain insight into how valuable referrals and a mentorship culture contributed significantly to her business success.

The second Silver Award recognized Thunderly's contribution to the Online Film & Video category with their five-part series titled “Checkers Rally’s - Franchise Opportunities Brand Story.” This series dives deep into the 40-year legacy of Checkers Rally’s, featuring interviews with franchisees and brand leaders who share their experiences and the support provided to new franchise owners. The narratives highlight not only the rich history of the brand but also the comprehensive training programs in place for franchisees.

Voices Behind the Vision

Dan Wiley, Creative Director at Thunderly, played a pivotal role in capturing the essence of these stories. He was responsible for filming the engaging interviews and all supporting b-roll footage that helped craft these compelling narratives. According to Thunderly’s CEO, Scott White, achieving such recognition is a direct reflection of the outstanding creative efforts put forth by the team. He remarked, “Creative excellence has always been our standard, and seeing our work earn multiple Davey Awards is exactly the kind of result we strive for.”

The Significance of the Davey Awards

The Davey Awards has become synonymous with acknowledging distinctive work from smaller agencies and independent creators. Held annually, the awards evaluate submissions across numerous fields, including websites, marketing, advertising, and film. Each entry is dissected and rated on a 10-point scale by a jury of industry experts who assess creative, technical, and strategic achievements.

Josh Campbell, General Manager of AIVA, reflected on this year’s winners, stating, “This season's winners demonstrated that remarkable ideas can stem from teams of any size, showcasing the limitless creativity in smaller shops.” Their work stands as a testament to the innovation and narrative capability that thrives in environments where budgets are modest yet imagination knows no bounds.
