Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Competing against companies from Dubai to Dublin and from Turkey to Texas, Puerto Vallarta based Aviana Productions picked up four 2013 International Hermes Creative Awards.

The prestigious marketing competition is judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals and honors the "messengers and creators of traditional and emerging media."

Platinum Awards were given to Aviana Productions for a talk-show pitch reel starring former Mexican President Vicente Fox and a stand-out sales pitch for a real estate property on the Mexican Riviera.

Of special note was a gold statue awarded to AP for the San Francisco -USA - Girl Geek event at the stunning Atlassian U.S. headquarters in the city, marking Aviana Productions push into event programming.

This latest round of awards highlights the power of online video marketing. A B2B Demand Generation Benchmark Survey found the use of video is more effective than case studies, white papers and live demos.

Noting that YouTube is the Internet's #2 search engine, Forbes Magazine is reporting that, essentially, video is brain food! People pay closer attention when they see movement, study someone's face and hear their voice. In other words, the connection is EMOTIONAL.

In addition to the Hermes honors, Aviana Productions, founded by journalists Jon Duncanson & Sylvia Gomez, has won numerous international communications awards, including: 5 Emmy Awards, 3 MarCom Awards, 4 International Videographer Awards, 3 International Aegis Awards, and 5 International Aurora Awards.

Aviana Productions is a multimedia marketing and consulting company founded by Emmy Award winning television journalists Jon Duncanson and Sylvia Gomez, based in Puerto Vallarta & the San Francisco Bay area.
