Seminole County Chamber Wins National Award for ChamberWORKS

Just a couple of hours ago, the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives announced the winners of their annual communications awards.

WE WON!

ChamberWORKS, our video series showcasing the iconic brands of our community, was named the best communications campaign in the United States among chambers of our size.

From the judges: "This campaign stood out for transforming traditional member spotlights into authentic, entertaining storytelling that showcased the people and work behind local businesses.

"The series created a modern, evergreen campaign with highly expandable content that delivered meaningful member exposure and gave chamber value while feeling refreshingly human in an increasingly AI-saturated communications landscape."

Over the past year, it's been a tremendous honor for me to be able to tell the stories of our members in such a meaningful way. I've learned so much about the featured companies and how much they do every day to provide us with goods and services.

Of course, it takes a team to put this together.

Alan Byrd, our long-time communications consultant, worked with me to develop the program early last year. He also coordinates the shoots and preproduction, and books our subjects.

Alex Minor of Eye AM Media helps tell the story with his incredible videography and editing and ensures we capture our members in the manner they want to be seen.

Finally, Dave Moody of Need Creative created the graphics and logos that make ChamberWORKS pop.

And we couldn't have won without great subjects.

Thank you to the following companies for being featured in our first series:

• Pet Rescue by Judy
• UCF Business Incubation Program Part One & Part Two
• Hollerbach's German Restaurant
• Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens
• InBloom Florist
• Mechanical One

Sincerely,
