Explore Awarded Two Tellys In 2020 Competition

CHICAGO - June 10, 2020 - PRLog -- Explore, a commercial production company creating award-winning commercials & digital content for advertisers, was recently awarded two Telly trophies in the annual competition.

"Stubborn Camper" won a Silver Telly in the Travel & Tourism online commercial category. The :60 online spot was produced by Explore for Go RVing and was written & directed by Brendan Beachman. The ad features a comedic take on the comforts of RVing vs. camping in tents.  RVs have been at the forefront of news this summer travel season as consumers look for ways to safely vacation with the realities of Covid-19.  The advertisement, specifically targeted to the online market, has been garnering rave reviews since first broadcasting in early 2020.  The spot was post-produced at Explore as well, with Nice Shoes providing color correction.

"One Big Difference" won a Bronze Telly Award in the Banking commercial category. The :30 broadcast spot advertises the big bank amenities, yet the still neighborhood feel of 1^st Source Bank.  Created / written by Dan Consiglio of The Specialists and directed by Jeremy Pinckert, the spot features an oddball collection of cell phone users conducting online banking in humorous scenarios.  The advertisement was distributed through broadcast channels and :15 cut downs were also broadcast digitally.  The spot was post-produced at Explore as well, with Nice Shoes providing color correction.

"The Telly Awards have always been a benchmark for our productions over the years," says Explore's executive producer Jeremy Pinckert. "We aspire to create a level of storytelling worthy of awards like the Tellys in all our productions, and when all of our goals align to actually be honored by these prestigious awards, it's a special, special achievement for our team."

These are the 53^rd and 54^th Telly Awards for Explore, a production company creating award-winning practical commercials & digital content for advertisers.  Founded in 2003, they have grown from a boutique production house into a multi-city company with directors and representation in all major markets.
