Innovative Advertising recently earned multiple local and national awards for a campaign created for a health insurance company. The winning entry features four animated videos comprising an overall campaign aimed at engaging members and inspiring them to take ownership of their health under the guidance of expert healthcare clinical staff.
Innovative’s Senior Video Editor, Rick Nelson, was recently asked by his alma mater, ‘The Factory,’ to write some advice for their current body of film students. Here’s what he had to say.

Today, Innovative Advertising added to its award-winning profile with three honors in the 39th Annual Telly Awards. All three victories came from Innovative’s work with Essential Federal Credit Union.

The video specifically highlights the credit union’s commitment of donating 50 meals to the food bank for each new member sign-up.
You probably won’t get to the end of this blog. Studies show the human attention span is shrinking.

By 2019, experts believe that 80% of all the traffic on the internet will be consumer internet video. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, SnapChat or Hulu, video content has emerged as the medium of choice for the masses. In fact, nearly three in four agencies say online video is as effective, or more effective, than television. Here are a few reasons why –
Some things never go out of style. Other things are out of date almost the second they’re out of the store. In order to be effective, today’s marketing and advertising often requires a combination of traditional (direct mail, billboards, radio/tv), as well as newer and emerging tactics (social selling, highly targeted audience segmentation, experiential marketing).
