REV earns two Tellys during the 46th Annual Telly Awards
The South Louisiana-based communications provider’s Marketing team was honored with two bronze Tellys for creative campaigns focusing on localism
Gonzales, La. – REV received two bronze Telly Awards for campaigns executed in 2024. The bronze Tellys were awarded to the company’s Marketing team for their campaigns celebrating REV’s 90 years of service. These campaigns highlighted local partnerships by including customers and employees in content that demonstrated their connection to REV’s services.
“This team continues to effectively share real stories of how our residential and business customers positively experience REV’s services across various communities,” said Tressy Leindecker, REV’s executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. “Earning 10 Telly Awards in the past three years is affirming evidence of the strong partnerships and the collaborative strength among REV’s creatives.”
Since their establishment in 1979, The Telly Awards continue to honor excellence in video and television across all screens. This year, The Telly Awards received over 13,000 entries globally from 6 continents and all 50 states.
“Earning Tellys again this year doesn’t diminish how honored and humbled REV’s Marketing team is to receive multiple distinctions for our work,” said Meri Burroughs, REV’s vice president of Marketing. “Telling REV’s story is one thing, but being trusted to share even a small glimpse into our customers’ stories [when featuring them in campaigns] is a testament to the trust they place in us.”
REV received two Telly Awards in the category of General Branding, specifically for branded content focusing on logos, symbols, or designs that differentiate a product from others. 2025’s awarded content included submissions from REV’s True Partnerships campaign featuring Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service and from a multi-market campaign Connecting Businesses from the Bayou, to the River, to the Lake.
REV’s past years’ awards included honors in the categories of General Branding, Corporate Image Branding, Social Video – Educational Institution, Video Journalism, Public Service and Activism.
Entrants are judged by The Telly Awards Judging Council – over 250 executives from television networks, production companies, global agencies, immersive content studios, and streaming platforms around the world, including companies like Shutterstock, Marvel, BBC, and Netflix. This year, newly added judges from the fields of emerging tech, creator economy and social impact included Roku Brand Studio, MediaPro, PlutoTV, Open Television, Gymnasium, Patreon and Pickleball TV.
