PP+K sets Industry Record - Wins 45 Telly Awards

Paul + Kenney Inc. announced today that it has won more Telly Awards than any other creative agency or production company in the United States.
       
Although late entries to the competition are still being judged, PP+K is the confirmed record-setting winner by number of awards received.  Historically, fewer than 10 percent of entries are chosen as winners of a Silver Telly, the organization's highest honor, and competition representatives were not aware of any other company that had won more awards in a single competition year.  PP+K's entries represented work for eight clients, including Sweetbay Supermarket, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Circle K, Sam Seltzer's Steakhouse and Kuhn Automotive. 

"Many agencies pick one marquee client to pin their award hopes on and use the old standby 'it's about quality not quantity' to excuse why they haven't won more awards," said Paul Daigle, president for PP+K. "Our attitude is why not submit as much of our brilliant creative work as possible and see how we compare to the biggest names in the industry.  The fact is, we are dominating these awards, and it's just the beginning."

Founded in 1978, the Telly Awards honors outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, Web content, video and film production.  The annual competition showcases the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators and corporate video departments in the world. The Telly Awards receives more than 12,000 entries annually from competitors around the world, including 2005 winners DDB, Foote Cone & Belding, Grey Worldwide, J. Walter Thompson and Young & Rubicam.
