Awards
Through impressive client work from our forward-thinking members, PRISM has established a solid reputation as Virginia Tech’s premiere ad agency. Our innovative digital marketing techniques have earned us various awards, including the honor of being named Outstanding Organization of the Year in 2019 out of over 800 student organizations at Virginia Tech. Check out a few more of PRISM’s notable accomplishments below.
“2019 PRISM RECRUITMENT” video
PRISM’s 2019 Recruitment Video was judged against 13,000 other entries to win the Bronze Telly for “General- Branded Content” in the 41st Annual Telly Awards. This video caused Kendyl Florence, Account Manager for PRISM, to step out of her comfort zone and produce a video unlike anything PRISM had seen before. The risks paid off and PRISM is honored to have been awarded such a prestigious award.
“Pamplin 2019 Graduation” video
Pamplin’s 2019 Graduation Video brought home a Bronze Telly in the 41st Annual Telly Awards in the “General- Social Videos” category. The Telly Awards mission is to highlight those videos that lead the way for everlasting innovation and tell stories that defy the limits. Director Rachel Bryner and producers Oliver Merideth, Christopher Marano, and Donna Wertalik did just that. This video took every Pamplin graduate down a road of nostalgia as a senior, played by Nick Payne, relives his true college experience- mistakes and all- to see how far he, and all the graduates, have come.

“PAMPLIN COLLEGE OF BUSINESS-BLC” VIDEO
The Pamplin College of Business is expanding with the Global Business and Analytics Complex (GBAC), formerly the Business Learning Community (BLC), and they needed a visual representation of what the future of Pamplin will look like.
