PHILADELPHIA, PA–Forge Apollo is proud to announce three wins at the 47th Annual Telly Awards, which recognize excellence in video and film production. This year’s theme, “Capture the Original,” celebrated work that brings fresh inspiration to modern media. Forge Apollo earned two Silver Tellys and one Bronze Telly for projects with Secrets Resorts, Dreams Resorts, and its own promotional reel, marking the fourth consecutive year of multiple wins.

Director of Video Production Evan McIntyre notes, “Each of these projects asked something different of our team, from large-scale resort storytelling to brand-forward promotional work to a live experiential activation.”

Secrets Resorts: “Secrets Resorts Presents #BeMoreConnected | Love Stories from Philly’s LOVE Park”

Silver Telly – Campaign: Corporate Image category

Forge Apollo designed and built the activation space in LOVE Park, collaborating closely with Hyatt’s team to capture authentic love stories from real couples. “Winning for this piece is especially meaningful because it recognizes a project that was creative, experiential, and really collaborative from start to finish,” says McIntyre.

Forge Apollo: “Forge Apollo: Who is Forge Travel Reel”

Silver Telly – General: Promotional Reel category.

McIntyre reflects that this reel “showcases the fun, energy, and range of the travel content our team has been creating, while giving people a quick look at how we see the category creatively.” This award not only reflects one project, but the momentum the team has built across its work in the travel industry.

Dreams Resorts: “Dreams Resorts: More in Every Moment”

Bronze Telly – Campaign: Commercials category

This technically ambitious project used a split-screen approach to showcase the many sides of the Dreams Resorts experience. “Pulling that off took a lot of smart, thoughtful work from so many members of the crew, and we’re really grateful we had the opportunity to visually tell the Dreams story through such a unique lens,” says McIntyre.

McIntyre credits these successes to collaboration with “great client partners, a team that cares deeply about the details, and a shared commitment to making work that feels both strategic and emotionally resonant.”
