LOS ANGELES, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Material, an integrated marketing services company that builds brands from the insight out, has accepted two “People’s Voice” awards at the 25th Annual Webby Awards. Its Brand Marketing team’s campaign “Wishes Delivered” for UPS won for Best Video (Branded), Diversity & Inclusion and its campaign “All In NYC” for NYC & Company won for Best Video (Series & Channels), Travel & Lifestyle.
“These awards are a true testament to the creative and collaborative work that we develop with our brand partners every single day,” said Material CEO Dave Sackman. “Not only do campaigns like these serve our clients well, but they’re making a true impact on the world at large. That’s ultimately what Material is all about.”
Material’s Brand Marketing team collaborated with UPS to showcase the story of Free Mom Hugs founder Sara Cunningham as part of their Wishes Delivered campaign. The video showed how UPS made her wish to deliver hugs to the LGBTQ community in a time when physical hugs weren’t possible come true in the form of “hug care packages” sent to hundreds of recipients. The short branded film was awarded for its celebration and promotion of diversity and inclusion.
Meanwhile, Aruliden, a Material Company, worked with NYC & Company, the official marketing organization for NYC tourism, to create “All In NYC,” which promotes that New York City is open for business, referencing citywide deals and activities. All In NYC is a statement of dedication that celebrates the resilience of the city and the businesses, communities, and individuals who make the city a diverse, one of a kind, must-visit destination.
“Aruliden’s Portrait series helped us put human faces on stories of resilience from across the five boroughs,” said Jonathan Durbin, Executive Creative Director at NYC & Company. “It was the emotional center of our campaign, a critical part of showing the heart New Yorkers have for their city and communities.”
