LENOIR, NC (February 11, 2022) – Blue Ridge Energy and nickgreene.com have announced they have won multiple Davey Awards from the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts for their member communications and marketing for the cooperative’s website and podcast.

The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids”, who derive their strength from big ideas rather than big budgets. Over 2,000 entries are submitted each year in this competition sponsored by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts.

Another silver award was given for the campaign created for a new member communications tool: Blue Ridge Energy’s podcast called “Unplugged.”

“We’re honored to be acknowledged for our efforts to effectively communicate with and inform the members we serve, said Renee Whitener, director of public relations. “Our website is a critical member service tool, and our new podcast is growing quickly as an engaging way for members to keep informed about key areas of their cooperative,” she added.
