MassMutual has won two silver Telly Awards for their B2B film created by Froth & Fur. These are the first silver Tellys we've won, so they're a pretty big deal- silver is the highest scoring level in our entry category: promotional video for banking and financial services.
These Tellys are also special because they were from our last production in New York before lockdown. Congratulations to our New York production team, and our Los Angeles post team!
Our winning entry is aimed at an audience of financial services professionals. It's about getting them to give MassMutual Coverpath a try in their practices. We wanted to elevate the project beyond the typical "talking head" look, so we created a story that was shot at iconic New York City locations such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Penn Station, and we used VFX to enhance the experience and make it uniquely branded.
