Dragons Take Home National Recognition in Communications Excellence
The Communications & Engagement team here at CISD continues to elevate its storytelling and branding efforts, adding three new accolades presented during the 2025 Telly Awards and 2025 National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) Awards to a growing shelf of honors.
2025 Telly Award Wins
- Silver – Campaign: Educational Institution (Non‑Broadcast)
The CISD Good & Green series secured a Silver Telly in the “Campaign – Educational Institution” category. Produced in collaboration with Ryan Davis Media, this multi‑piece campaign centers on the district’s values, achievements, and initiatives under the Good ’n Green program.
- Gold – General: Sizzler/Promo Reel (Non‑Broadcast)
The 2024 Dragon Hype Video earned a Gold Telly in the "General Sizzler & Promo Reel" category, praised for its high‑energy editing, dynamic visuals, and captivating music—embodying the spirit of the Dragon brand. This piece was produced alongside creative partner Motive Marketing.
Building on that momentum, the 2024 Dragon Hype Video also earned recognition from the National School Public Relations Association with a 2025 Publications and Digital Media Excellence Award, a program that celebrates outstanding materials such as publications, newsletters, videos, websites, podcasts, and social media content.
“Our team’s ability to craft media that resonates—whether through a campaign like Good ’n Green or through excellence recognized by NSPRA—speaks to the dedication, vision, and hard work behind every project. And we’re certainly proud to see our Dragon spirit shine through our hype videos,” said Jeff Brady, Executive Director of Communications.
The recognition from both the Telly Awards and NSPRA highlights Carroll ISD’s commitment to innovation and excellence in communications. By blending creativity with purpose, the team continues to amplify the Dragon brand, connect with the community, and showcase the achievements of students and staff. As we look ahead, these national honors serve as both validation and inspiration to keep telling stories that reflect the pride, passion, and spirit of Dragon Nation.
