We’re Proud to Announce Our Award-Winning Commercial Production

It’s Our Turn

We’re proud to have won a Telly Award for our work on the production of SIU’s most recent commercial, “It’s Our Turn.” The commercial beautifully illustrates what Southern Illinois University can offer its students and inspires them to take the next step in their journey. Watch the video here:

The Telly Awards, founded in 1979, honor excellence in local and regional broadcast and video commercials across all screens. Each year, the Telly Awards receive 12,000 entries from all 50 states and from 5 continents. Our commercial, “It’s Our Turn” was one of just three top recipients of a Telly for regional TV produced for a school, college, or university.

Thank you to everyone on the production team who made this happen.

Taking Our Video Production Capabilities to the Next Level

For years, we have produced professional, creative, and inspiring videos for the brands we work with. As with everything we do, our team is constantly working to improve our production capabilities, and receiving a Telly Award is proof of that hard work. 

However, winning an award is not the only thing that we find pride in. Each time we produce a commercial, reel, or testimonial for a client, the real reward is their happiness and the positive impact that the video makes on their business.

Take a look at our production reel which showcases all of our video capabilities from animation to full-production commercials:
