Endicott College received two honors in the 47th Annual Telly Awards, which recognize excellence in video and television across all screens.
The College earned a Silver Telly Award in the General Entertainment (Non-Broadcast) category for The Legend of the Gray Lady, a Halloween ghost video inspired by Scooby-Doo, featuring the spooky legends and rumored hauntings of Endicott’s historic College Hall. Erin Foreman, Endicott’s Video Production Specialist, wrote, directed, filmed, and produced the piece.
Endicott also took home a Bronze Telly Award for General Fundraising & Appeals for Endicott's 7th Annual Giving Day: One Day. One Mission. One Epic Impact, a movie-themed promotional video created to encourage donations and build excitement around Endicott’s 7th annual Giving Day.
Sarah Sweeney, Assistant Vice President of Communications & Marketing, and Jan Soolman, Brand Manager, wrote the script, while freelancer J Kimball directed, filmed, and produced the piece.
“We’re proud to have our work recognized on a national stage,” said Anthony Donaldson, Vice President of Marketing & Communications. “These awards reflect the creativity and collaboration of our marketing and communications team, who are passionate about capturing the Endicott experience and sharing the stories that define our community.”
Committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity forward, this year’s new categories included topics within Generative A.I., Animation, and Creators. The awards saw over 13,000 entries from across the globe.
