“Your Link to What’s Next” video receives Bronze and People’s Telly awards
BOISE, Idaho – The CenturyLink “Your Link to What’s Next” video has received a Bronze Telly award as well as a People’s Telly award. The 35th Annual Telly Awards received nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states as well as from numerous countries around the world.
In an effort to connect visitors of CenturyLink Arena to CenturyLink the company, CenturyLink and Peppershock Media partnered to produce a video depicting CenturyLink employees serving clients, volunteering in the community and enjoying the Treasure Valley. The one-minute, 20- second video, narrated by CenturyLink Idaho’s Vice President and General Manager Jim Schmit, is shown prior to many events held at the arena.
“We are pleased to be part of the Treasure Valley community and honored to receive these awards,” said Schmit. “One of our objectives for this video was to share what great employees we have and how their work at CenturyLink helps keep us all connected to our family, friends and community.”
“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, executive director of the Telly Awards. “CenturyLink & Peppershock Media’s accomplishment illustrates their creativity and skill and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”
“Working with CenturyLink to show their commitment to our community was a great reward for our team. The fact that our industry thought the video was award-worthy is icing on the cake,” said Drew and Rhea Allen, co-owners of Peppershock Media.
