Paradux Media Group earned a prestigious 2026 Gold Telly Award for Craft – Videography & Cinematography for Hunter Communications’ “Live or Streaming” television commercial. Presented at the 47th Annual Telly Awards, the recognition celebrates the visual craftsmanship and creative collaboration behind the award-winning production.

Gold Telly Award Recognizes Excellence in Cinematography

Great cinematography does more than capture beautiful images. It creates atmosphere, communicates emotion, and helps audiences connect with the story being told. In advertising, those visual decisions can transform a simple message into something memorable.

Hunter Communications’ “Live or Streaming” commercial reflects the value of bringing thoughtful visual storytelling together with a clear brand message. Created for local television, the commercial demonstrates how creative execution can help businesses communicate with the people and communities they serve.

The Craft – Videography & Cinematography category specifically evaluates the visual production of a piece, independently of its other creative elements. Receiving the Gold Telly in this category recognizes the cinematography behind the Hunter Communications commercial.

Celebrating the Creative Partnership Behind the Work

The award-winning commercial was entered by Paradux Media Group on behalf of Hunter Communications, with production credits recognizing Maddox Visuals and Tyler Maddox.

At Paradux, we believe exceptional marketing begins with understanding people and bringing the right creative talent together to tell a meaningful story. Our approach combines brand strategy, creative thinking, and practical execution to produce advertising that serves a purpose beyond simply looking good.

This Gold Telly Award celebrates the collaborative effort behind “Live or Streaming”. It reinforces our belief that the strongest creative work comes from partnerships built on trust, shared vision, and a commitment to excellence.
