TUCKER, Ga., August 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CATMEDIA has recently won its seventh Telly Award in just the past three years. The Silver award, the highest honor in the competition, was bestowed upon the company in the General Government Relations category for its "Washington Air National Guard: 194th Mission Support Group" video.

The Telly Awards honors excellence in video and television across all screens and platforms. They are judged by experts in respected fields of television, cinema, production companies, and streaming networks that include Netflix, ESPN Films, Complex Networks, and Dow Jones.

"After facing a year like no other, our team has continued to create, innovate, and thrive," said Catherine Downey, CATMEDIA founder and CEO.

"We are pushing boundaries for video innovation and creativity at a time when the industry is rapidly changing and impacted due to COVID," said Parker Branch, CATMEDIA assistant creative director and team lead for the award-winning video project. "Using a mix of animation and photographs, we produced an animation, which highlighted the individual groups that the Wing is comprised of. We delivered creative treatments, scripts, pre-production, production, post-production, voiceover narration, music and sound effects mixing, and 508 compliances."
