Press Release Summary: Firm's projects honored at the Telly Awards and Create Awards.
Press Release Body: Bend, Oregon, October 22, 2008 -- tbd, a full-service marketing firm, today announced that its work has been recognized by the 29th Annual Telly Awards and the 2008 Create Awards, both international competitions for advertising.
"A platform of our culture is to question the status quo and ensure that we are continually moving forward with fresh thinking and concepts for our clients," said Paul Evers, president and chief creative director for the firm. "It's an undeniable honor to be recognized by our peers at such a high level. Participating in competitive programs such as Create and the Telly Awards provides us with the opportunity to celebrate the bold and imaginative spirit of our clients and our team."
tbd's "The Man Who Couldn't Wave" television commercial in Bend won two awards at the 29th Annual Telly Awards, which receives more than 14,000 entries from all 50 states and many foreign countries. This advertisement was part of a campaign to convey the neighborly spirit of NorthWest Crossing, an innovative mixed-use community located in Bend, Oregon. It was also a finalist at the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival last year. Footage from the commercial was also re-edited to create a short film which was featured in the BendFilm Festival.
The 2008 calendar "A Walk in Our Shoes" for non-profit group Caldera won the silver award for collateral design in the 2008 Create Awards. The calendar features photography and poetry from Oregon youth participating in Caldera's art programs. The calendar was used as a fund-raising piece for the organization. The promotional poster for the 2007 BendFilm festival also won a silver award in this competition. This year's Create Award entries spanned the globe, and were judged by 20 leading professionals from eight creative industries. Only 361 awards were chosen out of the more than 1,500 entries. Winning pieces from the Create Awards will be on display at a hands-on gallery at Create Chaos 2008, an industry event being held next week in Orlando, FL.
