Knight Foundation Video Wins National Telly Award

A video highlighting early education initiatives in Wichita funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has been awarded a national Telly Award. The video won bronze in the Charitable/Not-For-Profit category.

The video was produced by Knight Foundation program director Anne Corriston, communication and consulting firm Bothner and Bradley Inc., and digitalBRAND Communications.

The video features two early education programs at work in Wichita: TOP Learning Centers and Wichita CARES, a partnership that included USD 259 early education and Parents as Teachers programs, Sedgwick County Healthy Babies, and the Center for Health and Wellness.

digitalBRAND Communications (dBC), a Wichita-based video production company, spent last May filming the transformational process created by the two programs.

"This award really reflects the quality of the grant programs that were highlighted,” said Anne Corriston. “We have been very fortunate to work with wonderful partners at TOP and Wichita CARES, as well as our production team, and it’s a pleasure to share this award with them.”

In its 29th year, the Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to recognize outstanding non-network and cable TV commercials and winners include the nation's top agencies and production houses from a field of more than 10,000 entrants in 2007.
