Newton-based video production arm of Newton TV
wins Hermes Creative Award and Communicator Award of Excellence

NEWTON, Mass. (June 3, 2015) - Newton-based NewTV Production Services recently celebrated a double win, taking home two major national awards for excellence in professional video production on behalf of two clients.

NewTV Production Services first took home a Silver Award of Distinction from the 2015 Communicator Awards for its creative holiday video created for client Chapman Construction/Design on Winchester Street in Newton. In the holiday greeting, Chapman employees show their dedication to their clients and industry and ability to “exceed expectations” through a clever re-telling of “The Night Before Xmas”. The Communicator Awards are the largest and most competitive awards program honoring the creative excellence for digital communications professionals with over 6,000 entries.

Next, NewTV Production Services won a coveted Hermes Creative Awards’ Gold Award in the Advertising/Trade Show category for client Hi-Gear Products Inc., a global leader in the automotive aftermarket. The informative and compelling trade show exhibit video demonstrated the company’s offerings and capabilities in 25 countries using rich animation and powerful music and graphics meant to capture attention within a high-traffic trade show environment.

“Winning these awards are a wonderful way for us to see our work considered among much larger international video production houses,” said Melinda Garfield, NewTV Production Services Manager. “Our relationships with our clients and our talented staff shine through in both of these award-winning video production pieces, and we couldn’t be prouder to share this honor with our entire NewTV staff and clients who allow us to stretch creatively and put their vision into video form. Thank you to the judges of both competitions for recognizing our work.”

“The work entered in the 21st Annual Communicator Awards serves as a true testament to the innovative ideas and capabilities of communications and marketing professionals around the world. Each year our entrants continue to amaze by reinventing the ways we communicate and market in an ever-changing industry,” noted Linda Day, executive director of the Academy Interactive and Visual Arts.
