read moreThe Davey Awards celebrate big ideas from small agencies, and we’re honored to be counted among those pushing the boundaries of creative design. This year, we brought home awards for the ShadowCat Experience Brochure and Sensient Sustainability Report in Graphic Design & Print, plus awards for the KickCharge website and the 101 Hudson website in the Website category.
It’s a huge honor and a proud moment for our team, as we strive to help brands make bold statements and meaningful connections. Here’s a closer look at each project and what made them award-worthy:
Our ShadowCat Experience Brochure earned a Davey award, and it’s a standout project for us. We wanted this brochure to be more than just informative — it needed to be an experience. With striking visuals, carefully chosen layouts, and a modern design, we aimed to capture the high-performance vibe of ShadowCat’s brand. This piece was about making a bold first impression that speaks to who they are, and we’re thrilled that it resonated.
Working on ShadowCat’s brand was an opportunity to go beyond conventional print design. We focused on details that make a lasting impact, like high-quality finishes and a dynamic flow that guides the reader. Winning a Davey for this project validates our belief that print can still be a powerful medium for storytelling.
Our Sensient Sustainability Report also won a Davey, which feels especially meaningful given the project’s focus on sustainability. Sensient is dedicated to eco-friendly practices, and we wanted that message to come through visually and emotionally. With natural-inspired design elements, clean layouts, and a color scheme that reflects the planet’s palette, we created a report that feels fresh and accessible.
This project was a chance to highlight an important mission in a way that’s both informative and engaging. The positive response has been amazing, and it’s rewarding to see the report celebrated for both its design and impact.
Our work on the KickCharge website took home a Silver award, and it’s a fun, bold project that mirrors the brand’s energy. KickCharge is all about dynamic branding, so we designed a site that’s interactive, vibrant, and engaging from the start. We wanted visitors to feel energized as they explore, with bold typography, intuitive navigation, and a design that’s both functional and fun.
This site is a perfect example of how a strong brand personality can come to life online. Every detail was crafted to reflect KickCharge’s spirit, and we’re thrilled to see it recognized for its impact and creativity.
Finally, the 101 Hudson website brought home the highest honor this year. This project was all about taking the iconic 42-story building in Jersey City and creating a digital experience that’s just as impressive. We focused on sleek, modern design and a clean layout that showcases the property’s features and character. The goal was to make 101 Hudson’s site as inviting and memorable as the building itself.
We’re really proud of how this website turned out. It’s a reflection of what we love about digital design—creating a space that feels alive, inviting, and true to the brand’s essence. This award is a big win, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring 101 Hudson’s vision to life online.
