Gold, Silver & Bronze awards for our talented production and post-production team at this year’s Telly Awards!
For the second year in a row, Tourism Media has taken home a swag of trophies from the 2020 Telly Awards! The annual event has been running since 1979, and was started as a way to “honour excellence in television and video across all screens.”. With top prizes going to world-renowned companies like HBO, Ogilvy and Mather, Microsoft and The Guardian, it’s safe to say we’ve been in good company over the last two years.
In 2020, Tourism Media took home not one but 12 Telly Awards, receiving a prestigious Gold prize for Best Online Travel Video. This was awarded for our Barcelona Vacation Travel Guide, published by Expedia in 2019. Reflecting on the award-winning video, Matthew Sawyer (our Editor extraordinaire) has said:
“Barcelona was a pretty unique video for us, nowhere else exists like this in the world and we really worked hard to give it a careful attention to the edit to make sure every new section and transition would surprise and delight audiences.”
Tourism Media went on to receive a further nine Silver and two Bronze trophies, in categories such as Best Cinematography, Best Writing, Best Editing and Best Branded Content. More than anything, this clearly shows the diversity of talent and skill sets we possess within our team.
Two prizes were received for our work on the Nagasaki Vacation Travel Guide, which was published by Expedia in 2019. After winning a Silver award for Best Writing, Lucy (who penned the script) had this to say about the working process:
“Nagasaki’s story is as devastating as it is powerful. It was incredibly sobering to write about one of the darkest days in human history. Yet the city’s story of rebirth is inspiring. This paradox made Nagasaki very special to write.”
While we’re always content with the feedback and recognition we receive from our clients, it’s certainly encouraging to be awarded prizes with the best in the biz. A very hearty congratulations to our wonderful writers, editors, videographers and all involved in taking home these trophies!
The Telly Awards are an annual awards ceremony and receive over 12,000 applications each year.
