Each year the Davey Awards honor the ‘Davids’ of the agency world who get ‘Goliath’ results with nimble teams. This year, Beyond took home two Silver Davey’s ; one for our antibias tool in the ‘Website — Social Responsibility’ category, and one for our Future Planet concept in the ‘Website- Green/Eco Friendly’ category.
antibias encourages recruiters and hiring managers to assess candidates based purely on their credentials and achievements — not on superficial traits. The chrome extension replaces LinkedIn profile photos and names with geometric patterns, removing any potential bias when reviewing job applicants. This supports a more accurate assessments of applicants, and helps diversify the upper portion of the hiring funnel.
Future Planet , available on Google Assistant powered devices, showcases how voice technology could be used to help build a better future for our planet. It aims to help create environmentally friendly behaviors by stating key environmental facts and then posing challenges that people can easily complete in their day-to-day lives (like forgoing plastic straws). With continued use, this simple voice app can create lasting global impact- it only takes about 66 days to form a habit .
In addition to this year’s win, last year our team at Beyond also brought home a Davey for our work on Flavors Hook Kids.
The Davey Awards is judged and overseen by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), a 700+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media.
