Brandon, the most creatively awarded integrated marketing agency in the Southeast, earned four honors at the 47th Annual Telly Awards, led by a Gold win for Brandon’s “This One Time In…” for South Carolina telecommunications provider FTC.
“This One Time In…” took top marks, securing Gold in the Regional TV (General/Telecommunications) category. The winning campaign anchored the “We Get You” platform for Farmers Telephone Cooperative (FTC), a rural South Carolina provider. Across three 30-second films, each opening with “this one time in…,” everyday local moments tip into chaos before FTC’s connectivity sets things right, trading speeds-and-pricing claims for humor and relatability. Over two years, the work helped grow FTC’s internet subscribers by 20%, with gains across every speed tier.
The agency also added two Silvers — “Defeat The Peak. Bank The Savings.” for Santee Cooper, in Regional TV (Campaign/Not-for-profit), and “More Time in Their Prime,” for Primal Pet Foods, in Online Commercial (General/Pets & Animals) — along with a Bronze for “Live Secure” for Security Finance in Online Commercial (Campaign/B2C).
“Over the past year, we’ve sharpened our focus around a simple belief: great creative work has the power to move people, shape culture and drive extraordinary growth for brands. These awards are an encouraging sign that our commitment to crafting iconic campaigns and pushing creative boundaries is resonating.,” said Scott Brandon, CEO of Brandon. “We’re proud of the recognition, but we’re even prouder of the impact this work has had for our clients and where it positions Brandon for the future.”
The recognition places Brandon among a class of winners that includes Paramount TV, Warner Bros. Discovery, FOX Entertainment, Sony Music, TED, ABC News, MoMA, Mayo Clinic, and Harvard Business School.
