Davey Awards recognize Vendi for Oktoberfest, UW-Platteville brand campaigns

Vendi Advertising has been recognized with two silver Davey awards for brand campaigns the firm developed for Oktoberfest and UW-Platteville.

The three-phase project for Oktoberfest included a new brand identity for the organization; a communications plan to generate interest and support for the celebration and an updated website. The work was done as part of the agency’s Vendi Share program, which provides pro bono services to organizations that have a positive impact on the economic, educational and cultural development of the region.

For UW-Platteville, Vendi developed a new logo, identity system and brand positioning strategy, then launched a brand awareness campaign to emphasize UW-Platteville top programs, hands-on approach, quality of education and affordability.

The Davey Awards are named for David in the David and Goliath story and recognize agencies with small budgets and big talent who are ready to take on the Goliaths of the industry. To be eligible for the Davey awards, agencies must not exceed $25 million in annual billings.

The ROI of knowing your audience

Who’s out there?
Where are they?
What do they need?
What do they want?
Who should you really be targeting?

Research-based personas — detailed, data-grounded profiles of your target customers built on qualitative and quantitative research — help you answer those questions and more. Carefully crafted personas help you target and reach the right people where they prefer to consume media and show them exactly what you’ve got to offer.

Structuring & writing content for AI

Retrieval is like securing a job interview. It gets your content in the room, but it doesn’t guarantee selection. Structure is what determines whether your content gets “the job,” that is, whether it’s deemed “useful” enough to be included in a response.

Optimizing content for AI retrieval

Most content never makes it into an AI-generated answer. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s never found in the first place. Before an AI system can use your content in a response, it must retrieve it. If you don’t win the retrieval battle, your content never even makes it onto the field.
