The two winning pieces—“Wherever You Are” and “Financial Freedom”—earned Bronze Tellys in the Commercial Television and Online Video categories, respectively.

Watch the two spots below:
What Are the Telly Awards?
The Telly Awards were founded in 1979 to honor excellence in video and television across all screens. Today, they are one of the most respected awards programs in the industry, celebrating outstanding work from top-tier production companies, agencies, networks, and independent creators worldwide.
Each year, a panel of over 200 leading experts from major media organizations—including Netflix, NBC, ESPN, and A24—judges thousands of entries across a wide range of categories, from branded content and animation to documentary and commercial video. Less than a quarter of entries are selected as winners, making it a true mark of distinction in the world of visual storytelling.
About the Award-Winning Commercials
Both of our winning spots were created in partnership with Fairwinds Credit Union as part of a larger rebranding initiative. The goal: to visually and emotionally communicate that Fairwinds is large enough to offer a global financial perspective, yet personal enough to prioritize each individual member’s journey.
- “Wherever You Are” was honored in the Commercial Television category. This cinematic piece emphasizes the accessibility and personal support that Fairwinds offers, no matter where life takes you.
- “Financial Freedom”, which won in the Online Video category, speaks to the dreams and aspirations of modern consumers who want more than just banking—they want guidance, empowerment, and freedom.
Both commercials blend powerful storytelling with compelling visuals, demonstrating the impact that carefully crafted commercial video can have on brand perception and emotional engagement.
What It Takes to Win a Telly Award
Telly-winning work goes far beyond high production value. Judges evaluate entries based on creative direction, narrative clarity, technical excellence, and the emotional or strategic impact of the content.
To compete and win among thousands of entries, a commercial video must:
- Clearly align with a brand’s values and messaging
- Deliver a unique and emotionally resonant story
- Exhibit outstanding cinematography, editing, and sound design
- Showcase originality and innovation in concept and execution
- Engage the audience and drive action or awareness
At Skystorm, we approach every commercial video project with this standard in mind—aiming not just to create content, but to craft an experience that elevates our clients’ brands.
A Collaborative Creative Effort
These award-winning commercials were the result of close collaboration between Skystorm’s creative team and Fairwinds Credit Union. A special thank you goes out to Director Alex Sivers and Director of Photography Eduardo Fierro, whose vision and technical expertise were key to bringing these concepts to life.
As a team, we believe in honoring both the art and the strategy of commercial production. We’re not just a commercial production company—we’re a cinematography company at heart, committed to executing every project with precision, passion, and a deep respect for the creative process.

These awards affirm what we strive for in every project: to produce commercial video content that not only looks beautiful but tells stories that matter. We’re honored to be recognized, and even more excited for what’s next.
