“ROCK THE PARK” FROM OVATION TV’S JOURNY NAMED SILVER WINNER FOR BEST SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN IN THE 42ND ANNUAL TELLY AWARDS

Los Angeles, CA – Ovation TV, America’s only arts network, announced today its JOURNY series Rock the Park has been named Silver Winner for Best Social Media Campaign in the 42nd Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honors excellence in video and television across all screens and is judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, production companies and including Netflix, Dow Jones, Duplass Brothers Productions, Complex Networks, A&E Networks, Hearst Media, Nickelodeon, ESPN Films, RYOT, Partizan and Vimeo.

Our country’s National Parks are a true treasure and Rock the Park invites viewers to discover them in such a beautiful and entertaining way. The goal of this campaign was to showcase these parks and their essence via our travel series app JOURNY: a means to travel to amazing places, from the comfort of your own couch and screen.

“In the face of a year like no other, Ovation TV’s JOURNY has continued to defy the limitations of our new world, in continuing to create compelling and engaging work,” says TellyAwards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “This year’s submissions doubled down on what we already know about the industry. Creativity cannot be stopped. Collaboration will always prevail. New ideas and stories will always find a way to break through to an audience.”

“We had a blast planning and producing the assets for this campaign,” adds Sarah Hannah Bigle, VP Digital & Social Media at Ovation. “Being a National Park aficionado myself, it truly was an amazing experience bridging my personal knowledge of these locations with the show Rock the Park together into a cohesive and effective social media campaign.”

Today’s winners announcement caps a year-long celebration of creators defying the limitations by embracing platforms to increase awareness about injustices and promote solidarity for movements, as well as geographical, like developing fully remote pipelines for dispersed teams.

This year also saw the continued expansion of new categories to reflect and celebrate new forms of producing work in light of the past months restrictions and limitations. New categories included Remote Production, Virtual Events & Experiences, and an increase in animation categories.

Last year, The Telly Awards attracted more than 12,000 entries from top video content producers including Adobe, Adult Swim, the BBC, Condé Nast, J. Paul Getty Museum, PBS, Playstation, RadicalMedia, T Brand Studio, Ogilvy & Mather, and The Walt Disney Company.
