STARKVILLE, MS (June 6, 2011)—Broadcast Media Group, Inc. of Starkville won a Telly Award for a commercial produced in 2010, bringing the company’s international production awards total to 12.
“Glass Half Full,” a :30 TV commercial produced for Cancer Care at the Premier Health Complex in Starkville, was selected from a large group of submitted work from across the United States and around the world.
A panel of more than 40 industry professionals judged the national competition.
The Telly was the latest in a series of awards for the commercial.
