Minerva is Internationally Recognized with Three AVA Awards

DALLAS, February 6, 2015 – AVA Digital Awards honored Minerva Consulting’s creative client work with a Platinum Award for its inspirational look at Petroleum Equipment & Services Association (PESA) with the video entitled We Are PESA and two Gold Awards for its website designs for PESA and Dallas Women’s Foundation’s BestSelfChallenge.com.

“We are ecstatic and humbled to receive recognition for work we believe in,” said Ashley Elsey, co-founder at Minerva Consulting. “PESA and Dallas Women’s Foundation presented very different opportunities to both educate people, and help influence a new way of thinking. We are grateful to have the trust of our clients, as we create integrated campaigns, including websites and videos, in order to fully tell their stories and spread their message.”

PESA’s video and website give an overview of what the organization stands for — the unified voice for organizations of the energy industry, advocating and supporting continued achievements in job creation, technological innovation and economic stability. The Dallas Women’s Foundation Best Self Challenge microsite is one that engages with women and girls of all ages encouraging them to change the meaning of selfie by posting a message or photo on social media answering the question, “What’s your best self?”

There were about 2,100 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries in the 2015 competition. Winners were selected from over 200 categories in audio, video and web-based production. Minerva’s work was among the top 14 percent of entries selected for the Platinum Award, the organization’s top honor and of the top 16 percent to win Gold. A list of Platinum and Gold Winners can be found on the AVA Digital Awards website.
