The Telly Awards announced winners in their 2021 competition in late May, including two awards for Williams Randall.
First is a Silver Telly for My Healthy Baby, a program of the Indiana Department of Health. The series of 15-second videos introduces a program that connects pregnant moms to free local support in their own communities. The videos won in the category of not-for-profit campaigns in online commercials. There were four videos submitted, which you can watch here.
-
The campaign launched with masked versions of the online video due to the pandemic.
-
The no-mask video will be used once the mask mandate has been lifted.
-
The videos were created in both English and Spanish versions.
-
The no-mask Spanish video will be used after the mask mandate is gone.
The second honor is a Bronze Telly in the use of humor category of social videos. Early in the pandemic, Visit Hendricks County worked to help make wearing a mask feel natural for residents and visitors. We created a video for them, showing how expressive your eyes can be even when wearing a mask. Working from our individual homes during quarantine, we directed an actor in his New York City apartment, proving that video production can also be done in-house when needed. Express those eyes while you watch!
