Global Media Outreach videos that won the awards were "In 60 Seconds" for the Charitable/Not-for-profit category and the "Holy Appointment" for the Religion/Spirituality category.

Our media team has worked hard to develop creative and unique ways to share these stories and we feel blessed to have such a talented group with a heart for helping people," said Michelle Diedrich, Chief Marketing Officer.
The Telly Awards was founded in 1978 to honor excellence in local, regional and cable TV commercials. Non-broadcast video and TV program categories were soon added. Today, the Telly is one of the most sought-after awards by industry leaders, from large international firms to local production companies and ad agencies.
