Allen Davis: Onward and Upward

Sadly, I just completed my final days at Banowetz + Company. The past five years have been thrilling, educational, inspirational, fulfilling, stressful and fun. I’m reticent to leave such a great team, but as the cliché goes, opportunity has knocked and I have no choice but to answer. My thanks to all of our amazing clients throughout my tenure who have challenged and inspired me – NorthPark Center, Allie Beth Allman and Associates, Eiseman Jewels, The Lumen Hotel, Bob Foster, and many more. And thanks especially to the Banowetz + Company family for taking a flyer on extracting me from Memphis, TN, which not only was a fantastic career move but also brought my family and me back home to the great state of Texas. For that, I am eternally grateful. I’m off to head up marketing for the Dallas Market Center, which is an incredible opportunity about which I am beyond excited. Please drop me a line at adavis@dallasmarketcenter.com if you get an inkling. Otherwise, onward and upward!

EMMY Award-Winning Commercial: “Love has No Labels”

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Creative Arts EMMY Awards with my brother, Dean Banowetz, #13 in our family of 15 children and a double-EMMY nominee this year for his hairstyling work on Grease Live and Dancing with the Stars. Dean is a celebrity hair stylist who has worked on hit TV shows including American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and Shark Tank, to name a few. During the EMMY ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, one of the most memorable and moving moments was the announcement of the winner of the Outstanding Commercial 2016. This award was presented to the Ad Council’s viral “Love Has No Labels” diversity and inclusion PSA campaign, created by ad agency R/GA and produced by Mindride. It’s a beautiful piece which reminds us to be thoughtful and accepting of others. We really enjoyed it, and hope you do too.
