MTA, Alaska’s best choice for technology and communications products, has won four Telly Awards for its outstanding achievements in advertisements and video. The Telly Awards honor excellence and annually highlight the best work created for television, and across video for all screens.
Receiving over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and 5 continents, the Telly Award winners represent work each year from some of the most respected advertising agencies, television stations, production companies and publishers worldwide. Last year, MTA received seven Telly Awards, continuing its winning streak this year.
MTA is recognized this year among other brands like Warner Bros. Worldwide TV Marketing, Sony Music Entertainment, Microsoft, The Walt Disney Company, ESPN and more. MTA had two videos in the advertising campaign: “Building our Future,” which won gold and silver in the categories “Local TV” and Craft Local TV” and its 2021 Annual Report Video, which won bronze in the “General, Non-Broadcast category.” The 2021 Annual Report “CEO Message” won bronze in the General, Non-Broadcast category.

Each and every person at MTA works together to close the digital divide and guarantee all Alaskans have equal access to internet service.”
