HBO and MTV judges select CREATORS MEDIA GROUP as top Film/Video/TV winner in highly publicized contest

Pleasantville, NY- November 29, 2006 – The International Academy of the Visual Arts has recently selected Creators Media Group (CMG) as a winner of the prestigious 2006 Davey Awards, which honors the finest creative works from around the world.

CMG was chosen as a top Film/Video/TV company out of more than 3500 entries from the best small firms, agencies, and companies worldwide. The leading production company in Westchester was recognized for a 30-minute Instructional DVD produced for Universal Remote Control.

“The video was designed to help consumers learn how to program a complex and intimidating remote control with ease and I believe we succeeded”, said CEO, Anthony Trama. “This award is confirmation that we accomplished what we set out to do and much more.”
The DVD is included in the product’s packaging and sold in all major retailers worldwide.

The Davey Awards focuses on companies that drive from big ideas, rather than big budgets, allowing small firms to compete with each other and receive acknowledgement for their outstanding work.

Judging for the competition is carried out by IAVA, a specialized organization that consists of 200 leading professionals in the visual arts industry, who is “dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media”. The judges are leaders of established advertising and marketing firms such as: Yahoo!, Esteé Lauder, Wired, Brandweek, Polo Ralph Lauren, ADWEEK, Coach, MTV, Victoria’s Secret, HBO and The Ellen Degeneres Show.

Linda Day, director of IAVA stated, “The incredible quality and growth of entries again proves that creative excellence, fresh ideas and great conceptual execution is a hallmark of the best small agencies and firms.”

Creators Media Group is climbing the ladder to success with this prestigious award and several others the company has been honored with in the last 6 months:

• Two International Telly Awards
• One International Videographer Award
• One National Accolade

CMG is a full service production company specializing in broadcast and corporate video production as well as Media Services, A/V Services and Equipment Rentals, serving as a “one stop shop” for clients.
