Paradux Media Group earned a 2026 Silver Telly Award for Craft – Directing for Hunter Communications’ “Live or Streaming” television commercial. Presented as part of the 47th Annual Telly Awards, this recognition celebrates the creative direction behind the production and the collaborative effort required to bring a compelling advertising message to life.

Silver Telly Award Recognizes Excellence in Directing

Effective directing brings together the many elements of a production to create a cohesive story. From guiding performances and establishing the visual approach to shaping the pacing and emotional tone, creative direction helps ensure that every element of a commercial works toward a shared purpose.

For Hunter Communications, “Live or Streaming” was created to communicate the Brand message through engaging television advertising. The project reflects the importance of combining creative vision with a clear understanding of the audience and the story a business wants to tell.

The Craft – Directing category evaluates the direction of a production as a distinct creative discipline. This Silver Telly Award recognizes the directing achievement represented by the Hunter Communications commercial.

Bringing Strategy and Creative Vision Together

At Paradux Media Group, we believe the best advertising begins long before the cameras start rolling. Understanding a client’s goals, identifying the message that matters, and developing a creative approach that connects with people are essential parts of producing effective marketing.

Directing plays an important role in translating that strategy into a finished production. It requires creative judgment, collaboration, and the ability to bring different production elements together into a unified story.

The award-winning “Live or Streaming” commercial was entered by Paradux Media Group on behalf of Hunter Communications, with creative credits recognizing Maddox Visuals and Tyler Maddox.

This recognition celebrates the people and creative partnerships behind the work, reinforcing our belief that exceptional advertising comes from combining thoughtful strategy with talented execution.
