Gold Telly – General: Explainer: Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE)

In partnership with SAFE, the “Power to Protect” campaign transformed a highly technical infrastructure challenge — America’s declining ability to move electricity where it’s needed — into a clear, compelling narrative for broader audiences. By breaking down the complexity of transmission capacity and illustrating its impact on national security, industrial competitiveness, and technological innovation, the campaign simplified a critical but overlooked issue through engaging, accessible visuals.

The work elevated transmission infrastructure from a niche policy topic to a national conversation, positioning SAFE as a leading voice across defense, energy, and policy communities while helping the public understand why modernizing the grid is essential to America’s future.

Silver Telly – Craft-Motion Graphics & Design and General-Advocacy & Causes, Silver Telly Awards: PhRMA

“Balance the Scales” earned recognition in two categories for turning a complex policy issue into a clear, persuasive case for reform. Centered on a tipping scale visual, the campaign made global drug pricing disparities easy to understand. Through dynamic motion graphics and sharp narrative framing, it distilled a multifaceted debate into a single, powerful image that called for action. This campaign paired strong visual storytelling with a focused advocacy message, building attention and momentum around a complex issue.

Silver Telly – General-Biography: Alliance for Aging Research 

In partnership with the Alliance for Aging Research, this project raised awareness of a complex and often overlooked barrier in Alzheimer’s care: CMS rules that prevent long-term care facilities from administering FDA-approved treatments for agitation. By centering the lived experiences of patients and caregivers, the video made a regulatory issue both human and urgent, showing how current rules compromise dignity, safety, and support for those living with Alzheimer’s.

The result was a clear, emotionally grounded narrative that helped policymakers, regulators, and administrators understand the real‑world impact of their decisions. 

Bronze Telly – General-Promotional Reel: Churchill Asset Management 

The video celebrates a pivotal moment for Churchill Asset Management: the unification of Nuveen’s private equity and junior capital group with Churchill’s award-winning middle-market lending platform to form a $21 billion direct-access private capital platform.

This partnership is meant to demonstrate the opportunities it unlocks and successfully underscores how the combined platform is poised to provide clients with even greater reach, expertise, and impact.
