Take a look at our new categories for the Telly’s Anniversary season:
New Categories for Branded Content
Last year’s Branded Content categories were a huge success with winners including Vice, Wall Street Journal and Google—so we decided to expand them! With the rise of branded content being created across the industry—from independent filmmakers, agencies, brand studios—and in the diversity of work, including long form, short form, and episodic, this year’s Telly Awards feature new Branded Content categories that include:
- Fashion & Lifestyle
- Live Experiences
- Series: Documentary
- Series: Narrative
New Categories for Social Video
Videos are being consumed across social platforms and devices—and it isn’t stopping anytime soon. Last year’s Winners in Social Video took on a journey, from an Emoji Manifesto to a poetic meditation in The Panda is Dancing.
To honor the rapid growth and diversity of Social, our new Social Video categories include:
- Comedy
- Political & Campaigns
- Talkshow/Interview
- Instructional
- Health & Wellness
New Live Video Categories
From Facebook Live to Vimeo and Ooyala, the industry’s largest platforms have utilized live to empower creators and producers to share their work and events live, with ease.
With the rise of top quality and accessible distribution, as well as low-cost gear that has high-quality output, live streaming is everywhere.
To honor this breadth of work, this year’s Tellys features a dedicated suite of Live Videocategories across our media types!
