FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern Oregon agency recognized for cinematography, directing, music, telecom advertising and documentary storytelling

EAGLE POINT, Ore. – May 19, 2026 – Paradux Media Group has earned six honors in the 47th Annual Telly Awards, including a Gold Telly for its cinematography work and five Silver Telly Awards spanning directing, music, television advertising, documentary production and telecommunications marketing.

The recognition includes five awards for Hunter Communications’ “Live or Streaming” campaign, created by Paradux Media Group:

• Gold Telly – Craft: Videography & Cinematography
• People’s Telly Silver – General: Local TV
• Silver Telly – Craft: Use of Music
• Silver Telly – General: Utilities & Telecom
• Silver Telly – Craft: Directing

Paradux also received a Silver Telly in General – Documentary: Short Form (Under 40 Minutes) for “Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.”

For Paradux, the awards are recognition not simply of polished production, but of the strategy, collaboration, and storytelling behind the work.

“The best creative work starts with understanding what matters to the people on the other side of the screen,” said Mike Frey, Chief Visionary Officer of Paradux Media Group. “These projects are very different from one another, but they share something important: each one gave us the opportunity to tell a real story with purpose. We’re proud of the work, proud of the people who made it happen, and especially grateful to the clients and partners who trust us with their brands.”

The five awards for Hunter Communications’ “Live or Streaming” reflect the integrated approach behind the campaign, with recognition for both the finished commercial and individual elements of its production. From directing and cinematography to music and industry-specific storytelling, the honors recognize work designed to connect Hunter’s brand with the people and communities it serves.

The Silver Telly for “Curtiss P-40 Warhawk” extends that storytelling into documentary filmmaking, recognizing the short-form production in the General Documentary category.

“Video has never been more contested, more creative, or more consequential than it is right now,” said Amanda Needham, Managing Director of The Telly Awards. “The Telly Awards has had a front-row seat to this industry for 47 years, and today’s entertainment is happening in multiple formats, across every screen, and at every budget level.”

The 47th Annual Telly Awards received more than 13,000 entries from around the world. Winners were selected by The Telly Awards Judging Council, an industry body of more than 250 experts from across video, television, advertising, production, and major media organizations.

This year’s winners also include organizations such as Paramount TV, Warner Bros. Discovery, FOX Entertainment, Sony Music, TED, ABC News, Harvard Business School, Mayo Clinic, and the Olympic Channel.

For Paradux, earning six Telly Awards reinforces a philosophy that has guided the agency for 17 years: meaningful marketing works best when strategy and creativity stay connected—and when real people remain at the center of the story.
