Creating Movie Magic That Gets Noticed
We love making rad videos. We love solving creative challenges. And we really love it when the hard work, creativity, and movie magic that go into our projects receive a little recognition! Especially when it isn't from the owner's Mom…
Savvy Productions is proud to be a multi-time Telly Award winner, earning recognition for outstanding video production, creative storytelling, animation, and visual content. All of the shiny trophies around the office is usually one of the first things people mention when they step into our studio.
Since founding Savvy Productions in 2016, we've had the opportunity to work with incredible clients, collaborate with talented advertising agencies, and bring all kinds of creative ideas to life.
Along the way, some of those projects have earned recognition from one of the video industry's most respected award programs: The Telly Awards. The founder of Savvy Productions, Stephen Smith, also earned some trophies recognizing his editing skills before starting Savvy Productions.
- And that's something we're pretty darn proud of!
What Are the Telly Awards?
Established in 1979, The Telly Awards recognize excellence in video and television across screens and platforms. The competition celebrates creative work from production companies, advertising agencies, television networks, brands, and independent creators around the world.
Today, the awards recognize an impressive range of work, including commercials, branded content, corporate videos, animation, social media videos, documentaries, public service announcements, and much more.
Entries are evaluated by an industry judging council made up of experienced professionals from advertising agencies, production companies, television networks, and other creative organizations.
For a video production company like Savvy Productions, earning a Telly Award is a pretty awesome way to have our creative work recognized alongside productions from across the industry.
You can learn more about the competition at The Telly Awards official website.
Savvy Productions' Telly Award-Winning Work
We're proud of every award, but we're even more excited about the fun projects behind them.
Every winning video represents a creative challenge, a client's vision, and a team working together to make something awesome. Some projects involve live-action filming, others feature animation and motion graphics, and some combine multiple creative techniques to bring an idea to life.
Below, you'll find a collection of our Telly Award-winning projects, along with links to their individual award recognition pages. This list is from 2016 to 2026.

More Than Awards. It's About Making Great Work.
Awards are wonderful. They're a great way to celebrate creativity, recognize hard work, and give our team another reason to smile. And give our team another reason to smile when we're feeling down.
But at Savvy Productions, we don't create videos just to win trophies.
We create videos to help our clients tell their stories, connect with their audiences, explain complicated ideas, promote their businesses, train their employees, and accomplish their goals.
Sometimes that means producing a polished commercial. Other times, it means creating a complex animation, building something from scratch, or figuring out a creative solution to a production challenge that nobody else has quite figured out.
That's the fun part!
We're a team of creative problem solvers who love taking big ideas and turning them into something real. Whether we're filming on location, working in our South Jordan production studio, creating motion graphics, or adding a little visual-effects magic, we approach every project with the same goal:
create something our clients are excited to share.
Proud of the Work. Excited About What's Next.
Every Telly Award represents a project we're proud to have been part of. We're grateful to the awesome clients and creative partners who trust us with their ideas and give Team Savvy the opportunity to do what we love.
And, of course, we're incredibly proud of the talented people who make up our rad team. These awards represent their creativity, dedication, and willingness to push the boundaries of what's possible.
We've come a long way since starting in a basement in 2016, but one thing hasn't changed:
We still get excited about making awesome videos.
Here's to more creative challenges, more bodacious ideas, more rad projects, and plenty more movie magic!
Have a project in mind? We'd love to hear about it.
Contact Savvy Productions and let's create something awesome together.
