APT Wins Three International Telly Awards

Raleigh - The Agency for Public Telecommunications (APT) of the N.C. Department of Administration has won three international Telly Awards.

“This is the fifth consecutive year that APT has received Telly Awards, which recognize the consistently excellent production service our team provides,” said Ivy Hoffman, APT Executive Director. “Producing creative and cost-effective video communications for state and local agencies is key to our mission. We are grateful for the opportunity to assist them with award-winning productions.”

Judges awarded APT a Silver Telly, the highest honor, for the video “Eat Smart, Move More Successful Students” in the category of Education for Academic Use. APT produced this video to help educate students about the importance of healthy eating habits and the benefits of exercise for the Nutrition Branch of the Department of Health and Human Services.

APT earned a Bronze Telly for the “Otto Parts Series,” which consisted of six animated public service announcements featuring a talking catalytic converter that educates the citizens about the importance of proper vehicle maintenance. Created in both English and Spanish for the Division of Air Quality in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, this series was honored in the category of Promotion and Branding.  In developing “branding,” APT also created additional marketing materials, including a web site and promotional items, which augmented the message of the Otto Parts videos.

APT also received a Bronze Telly for “Why APT?”, a video showcasing APTs services through the eyes and testimonials of our customers. This video was recognized for excellence in Government Relations.

Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional, and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the best video and film productions. The 30th annual Telly Awards received more than 13,000 entries from ad agencies, production companies, TV stations, cable companies and corporations around the world.
