Tampa, FL – Creative114 announced today it’s ‘Cancer Doesn’t Get The Last Word’ has been named ‘2020 Bronze Telly Winner’ in ‘Online Commercial - Social Impact’ in the 41st Annual Telly Awards.  The Telly Awards honors excellence in video and television across all screens and is judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, production companies and including Dow Jones, Duplass Brothers Productions, Complex Networks, A&E Networks, Hearst Media, ESPN Films, RYOT, Vice+ and Vimeo.

“Cancer Doesn’t Get The Last Word” follows the story of Chris Brewer, a survivor of lymphatic cancer.  Many cancer patients feel a sense of loss, coupled with the fear of recurrence, and stop pursuing the life of their dreams as a result.  Chris’s story reminds us that life after disease is not the end. Instead, weakness and suffering can be turned into a force for positive change in the world. The project was released on Social Media by the American Cancer Society on World Cancer Day. 

“Creative114 is pushing the boundaries for video and television innovation and creativity at a time when the industry is both rapidly changing and heavily impacted by the current crisis,” said Sabrina Dridje, Managing Director of the Telly Awards. “ Our theme for this season, Telly Award Winners Tell Great Stories is a true reflection of the diversity of stories the community is skillfully able to tell. Now, more than ever, do we need to celebrate them and those that bring global stories to our attention. This award is a tribute to the talent and vision of these creators.”

“It's truly an honor to be recognized by such a prestigious organization for the work that we do,” said Getro Jean-Claude. “We are truly passionate about emotional storytelling, so we were simply having fun creating this project. All of this is possible because of our amazing clients and our team that are continually pushing boundaries. This Award goes to all of them.”

Today’s winners announcement caps a year-long celebration of creators around the globe and across all screens.
