A Great Place to Work: The agency is named as one of the Austin Business Journal's "Best Places to Work 2004"

The Austin Business Journal honored 50 companies in Austin in five categories: Small Business; Medium; Large, Not Based Here But With Significant Presence, and Non-Profit.  All winners were named at a luncheon "pep rally" held on October 14, 2004.  More than 300 nominations were received, and The Davis Group and its sister company, Teleclip, were proud to be among the top 50 overall - and one of 15 winners in the small business category (10-50 employees).

That same week also had "Boss's Day" and the agency decided to surprise its fearless leader, Monica, by filling her office with more than 450 balloons!

An Award of Excellence: Named Austin's "2004 Agency of the Year" by AWRT

Nominated for an "award of excellence," The Davis Group was named AWRT's "2004's Agency of the Year."  Monica Davis, the company's president, owner, and founder, accepted the award on March 10, 2004, given at the American Women in Radio & Television ( AWRT ) luncheon.  Fellow honorees at the luncheon included this year's other excellence awards, including Trailblazer, the most prestigious award given annually by AWRT.  Former Trailblazer recipients include two of The Davis Group's own: Monica Davis and Dotti Norwood .

Celebrating 25 Years: Austin's first media buying service, est. 1978

Local disc jockey legend, Cactus Pryor, signs the card congratulating Monica on her 25 years in business.  Monica founded The Davis Group, Inc. and Teleclip, Inc. in 1978.  Cactus is a long-time friend of Monica and the agency, and his signature was the final touch on a card with hundreds already (it reads like a who's who of Austin media).  The card was concealed from Monica for over two months while radio, television, print, client, and staff added their own personal touch to "Monica-Opoly: The Woman who 'Owns' Media."  A surprise party was thrown by the entire staff of The Davis Group and Teleclip, and also included co-owners of a neighboring agency, Thinkstreet .
