"Receiving 12 Telly Awards is a huge honor and one that we don't take lightly," said Marc Strong, founder and creative director at Wienot Films. "None of this would be possible without the incredibly talented team at Wienot Films, whose dedication and creative passion show up in every frame of everything we make. And none of it would happen without BRG, whose continued trust and vision push us to make corporate training content that truly stands. We are deeply grateful for this recognition and excited to continue raising the bar."

Rob Hichens, Managing Director at BRG, added: "We're so grateful for the continued partnership of Wienot Films. Together we've been able to make corporate training content that stands out and is a step above the rest. Our clients absolutely love the videos and clamor for more. We're honored to receive further validation of this work from the Telly Awards."

A Track Record of Award-Winning Corporate Training

This isn't the first time the Wienot–BRG collaboration has turned heads at the Tellys. Last year, their Indiana Jones-inspired video on business resilience and Ted Lasso-inspired data privacy pep talk won eight Telly Awards, including four Golds. And the year before that, their groundbreaking animated rap on data privacy won five Telly Awards, including a Gold for Writing.

Across three consecutive years, Wienot Films and BRG have now earned 25 Telly Awards together, a remarkable testament to the power of creative storytelling in corporate training and education.
