Explore Awarded 5 Trophies at Annual Telly Awards

Commercial production company Explore is proud to share that they were recently awarded five trophies in the 45th Annual Telly Awards competition. Their “Mobile Banking App” campaign for 1st Source Bank won in multiple categories including Directing, Regional TV, and the coveted People’s Telly. Explore has now won over 70 Telly trophies over their 20 years in business. 

Winning shows that we’ve done great work for our partners and pushed our creative limits.
— Jeremy Pinckert, Explore Founder

Contracted directly between the production company and the brand, the campaign, designed to showcase how the 1st Source mobile app enhances the customer experience. Viewers are introduced to a new cast of memorable characters including an overwhelmed mom, a café visitor with a flair for the dramatic, and a twisted-up yogi with big travel plans. And the bank's spokesperson is always there to answer, reassuring that no matter what, 1st Source Bank is here to help. 

“We’ve always used the Telly Awards as an industry benchmark. Winning shows that we’ve done great work for our partners and pushed our creative limits.” says Explore’s executive producer and founder Jeremy Pinckert. He adds, “We truly love telling our clients’ stories and to be honored and celebrated by the industry for doing what we enjoy is a very special achievement for our team.” 

The Explore and 1st Source Bank teams have enjoyed major award season wins for all three years of their “We Can Help” campaign.
