Tam Communications Scores Two Telly Awards
SANTA CRUZ, CA – June 23, 2015 – Tam Communications, creative, video, and digital content agency, has been honored as a dual Bronze winner in the 36th Annual Telly Awards. One award was given in the Regional TV & Multi-Market Cable – Amusement category for their commercial titled, Six Million Dollar Ride. The other award was given in the Non-Broadcast Productions – Training (for Corporate use) category for their training video, Four Simple Things. Both projects were produced for one of Tam Communications’ longest-standing clients, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Six Million Dollar Ride (title inspired by the 70s television show, Six Million Dollar Man), is a 30-second television commercial produced to promote the Boardwalk’s newest thrill ride, “Undertow”, the only spinning roller coaster in all of Northern California. Creative Director/Writer, Susan O’Connor Fraser, developed the concept and wrote the copy, collaborating with Director/Cinematographer, Tam O’Connor Fraser, and Producer, Regan Eymann. Producing for the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was Advertising Director, Sondra Woods.
The same creative team, working this time with the Boardwalk’s Director of External Affairs and General Services, Kris Reyes, produced Four Simple Things, a training video used during the Boardwalk’s new employee orientations to illustrate how a great attitude helps co-workers and guests “create fun memories that last forever”.
“Tam Communications quickly understood what we needed, and delivered great work on schedule,” said Reyes. “New employees are responding well to the new training video, which uses upbeat employee interviews to instill a sense of pride in our history and inspire a positive attitude for working with guests.”
“We’re honored to be acknowledged in this way and appreciate the continued collaboration with the team at the Boardwalk,” says Susan O’Connor Fraser. “They give us the creative freedom to develop content that deliver the results they expect. These awards demonstrate the recognition of that collaboration by our peers.”
