Grand Award Winners Receive a Trio of Prizes, Bowery Awards Deadline Extended
Carol H. Williams Advertising (CHWA), the longest-running independent multi-cultural marketing shop in the country, and AdVenture Media, one of New York’s fastest growing digital agencies, join forces with New York Festivals® Bowery Awards to honor the 2020 competition winners.
The Carol H. Williams ‘Together for Better Award’ is a new category that accepts work from each of the Bowery Awards category groups and honors campaigns that promote unity and diversity. Advertising icon and Hall of Famer, Carol H. Williams will judge the “Together For Better” creative entries and select the winner who will receive this prestigious award.
“Along with our collaborators and sponsor, Fiverr and AdVenture Media, we're incredibly honored to announce that Advertising Hall of Famer and Bowery Executive Jury member, Carol H. Williams will be selecting the winning work from this category,” said Scott Rose, Executive Director, New York Festivals The Bowery Awards.
"Powerful narratives are the shaping force in our lives and thereby creates empathy and motivates action at their most profound level. Narratives that ignite and nurture passions within us, envision new possibilities, develop confidence, and inspire us to overcome any obstacles that we face in making what was once unimaginable, imaginable."—Carol H. Williams, Owner, President, CEO & Chief Creative Officer, Carol H. Williams Advertising and Bowery Awards Executive Jury
AdVenture Media, sponsor of the Bowery Awards, has donated a dedicated amount of prize money to Bowery’s Grand Award-winning free-lancers and independent creatives. Prize money will be used to run a paid advertising campaign on behalf of the Grand winners within each category group.
“I'm incredibly honored that the Bowery Awards is giving our agency the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful event,” said Isaac Rudansky, Founder and CEO of AdVenture Media. “Few freelancers have the skills, budget, and know-how to profitably advertise their services. It's not a skill they've typically developed. Harder still, paid advertising is ruthlessly competitive. All of us at AdVenture Media felt that the “prize” we offered is more than a prize, AdVenture Media will use its experience, relationships, and data to get the winning freelancers more business.”
The 2020 Bowery Awards Executive Jury will honor the top scoring entry in each category with a Grand Award in the following category groups Audio, Motion Video, Design, Quarantine Content, Made on Fiverr and the Carol H. Williams “Together For Better’ Awards. Entrants earning a Bowery Award Grand Prize will receive a trio of prizes: a customized trophy, an accelerated path to Fiverr Pro, and $1000 dollars in AdVenture Media services.

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
