Congratulations to all the winners and to our small but mighty PMG team. Please join us in celebrating our Telly Awards as we share a little more about each win!

National FFA | FFA Live! Inside Convention Show

SILVER WINNER: ONLINE – EVENTS & EXPERIENCES

For the 96th National FFA Convention & Expo, our team helped develop and produce the FFA Live! Inside Convention show from concept to completion and took on the role of managing the newsroom and intern reporters. This project was a collaborative effort led by PMG with National FFA and  INNOVATIVE. We built a fully functional newsroom and studio set from scratch in the basement of Lucas Oil Stadium.

Throughout the week, six student reporters roamed the convention floor, generating story ideas, capturing video, and conducting interviews to produce 41 engaging, broadcast-style news stories. PMG’s Owner and Operator, Nicole Pence Becker, served as the show’s host. The FFA Live! Inside Convention team also produced eight in-studio interviews, providing crucial insights and connecting viewers with influential voices at Convention.

FFA Live! Inside Convention incorporated these stories in three one-hour highlight shows that were promoted on FFA’s online platforms. These allowed nearly one million FFA members, advisors, families, and supporters to remain connected to the convention even if they couldn’t attend in person, engaging them with dynamic stories and providing them with a unique view of the event’s heart and spirit.

Team Members Involved: Nicole Pence Becker, Jennifer Bostrom, Emily Sullivan, Lisa Wallace, Melissa Mattingly, Sarah Cox Dedrick, Lexie Manor, Nicole Halper, Sarah Russell, Eric Maloney, Larry Downes, Molly Ball, + Julie Woodward.

 Women for Riley | Riley Children’s Hospital Virtual Prom

SILVER WINNER: NON-BROADCAST – CHILDREN

PMG was thrilled to provide our services pro bono with Women for Riley, a philanthropic group within Riley Children’s Foundation, to produce an exciting video project for Riley Hospital for Children’s patients, families, staff, and community members.

Every year, the hospital hosts Riley Prom, where the patients and families can come together to celebrate and their illness takes a backseat to FUN. PMG collaborated with Women for Riley and preferred videographer Michael Durr to create a video that debuted on Prom Day, including interviews, local features, and many eye-catching activities to be enjoyed. This year’s theme was “Passport to Adventure” and viewers were transported to various parts around the world in the video. PMG’s own Nicole Pence Becker was the host of the fun-filled video and PMG’s Communication Strategist and Women for Riley President,  Andrea Kleymeyer, led the charge as producer.

Team Involved: Nicole Pence Becker, Andrea Kleymeyer, + Michael Durr
