More Statues for the Lobby!
We won some more Tellys. The press release follows. If you are from Adweek or the New York Times, I officially give you permission to reprint this anywhere you want.
May 4, 2008, Nashville, TN - “Frank/Best International, a full-service advertising agency located at 705 2nd Avenue in Nashville, was the recent recipient of four Telly Award Finalist trophies at the 29th Annual Telly Awards based out of Ashland, KY. The Telly Awards are a national and international advertising competition honoring videos and television commercials produced at the local, regional and spot market level. FBI won for television commercials produced for Honda Lawnmowers, the Nashville Zoo, Columbia State Community College, and Honda Generators. (See commercials below.)
This year, the Telly Awards had over 14,000 entries from film & video production firms and advertising companies representing all 50 states and several countries. Over the years, Tellys have been featured as coveted marketing accolades in movies and TV shows alike. They’ve appeared on shows like the Bob Newhart Show, Thirtysomething and The Closer, as well as in films such as Nothing In Common and What Women Want.
“We’ve been very fortunate over the years regarding Tellys,” said Tim Best, FBI creative director and founding partner. “We’ve won a bunch but it’s always nice to be recognized by one’s peers and, of course, clients don’t mind having a cool trophy on their shelf, either.”Â
Telly Awards are the same height and weight as an Academy Award and are manufactured by the same company. In its 11 years of business, FBI has won nearly 30 Tellys.
Besides Honda Lawnmowers, the Nashville Zoo, Columbia State Community College and Honda Generators, Frank/Best International works with clients like Sprintz Furniture, RODE Microphones, Honda Marine, SmartSpace, Honda Engines, New Fossil and, just this week, was awarded television production assignments from Austin Peay State University.
