Telly award given to San Francisco Bay Area-based video producer Chris Layhe & CLAi for excellence in corporate television commercial videos.

Excellence Awards

THE FILM AND VIDEO INDUSTRY HAS A NUMBER OF BODIES WHO GIVE OUT AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN RECOGNITION OF A PROGRAM, PRODUCTION COMPANY AND THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED THAT STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.

These are primarily for corporate videos, advertising commercials, broadcast video and non-profit video productions – and don’t include film or arts pieces. Most, if not all, creative agencies and production companies from every country across the globe enter one or several pieces for these various awards each year.

CLAi won a whole raft of these most every year when we were still based in London, UK – and so, after we relocated to the USA, in the period from 2001 to 2013 we thought that it would be interesting for ourselves, and kind of nice for our clients, to see where our US work stood on this international stage.

We have chosen not to do this over the last couple of years as we have a stack of statues and plaques already, and it all seemed rather self-congratulatory in a very un-San Francisco sort of a way.  So, today, we simply measure our video performance by the qualified and measurable success and change that it brings to our clients, which is much more satisfying – but anyway, back to the gongs…

CLAi, Chris Layhe and our various associates and clients have won these international, national and local awards for our work on corporate videos, advertising commercials, broadcast video and non-profit video productions:

CLAi and Chris Layhe received the addy award for excellence in advertising commercials.
CLAi and Chris Layhe received the New York festival award for excellence in international film & video.
Chris Layhe and CLAi received the communicator award for producing excellent corporate videos.
CLAi and Chris Layhe received the telly award for excellence in advertising commercials.

Of course, in our documentary and narrative feature film work winning awards and laurels from film festivals in the US and internationally is vastly important, as these are the stepping stones for an Indie Producer to move into Studio Features – and so we do everything possible to prepare the pieces for festivals, and provide guidance to our clients on what might work best where. This has resulted in both festival wins for every feature film we have worked on, and distribution deals for most of them.
