Hulu, 60 Second Docs and Comedy Central Digital are Digiday Video and TV Awards winners in 2021
The Digiday Video and TV Awards mark a transformative year for visual content, one in which so many eyes turned to screens of every type for information, education, entertainment and a sense of communal activity during a time of quarantine.
From heart-touching rites of passage to breakneck production turnarounds as whole seasons of programming were upended by pandemic-wrought changes, the awards this year represent a doubling down on the personal as well as an opening-up of approaches to workflow and creative storytelling.
This year’s winners include Hulu, which celebrated the return of multiple professional leagues with a COVID-19-safe campaign in August 2020. The program highlighted the power of digital face replacement technology and broke through the limitations of lockdown-restricted production cycles.
Meanwhile, 60 Second Docs took to Snapchat Discover in 2020 with a remarkable approach that identified a sweet — and short-form — spot between rapidly shifting audience attention and a thirst for authentic content that connected to both the mundane and sublime portions of human experience.
And, in a topically themed campaign that activated people during a crucial national moment, Comedy Central Digital rose above the pack with a nine-episode social media video series that drove audiences from their own channels to a custom voting information page during the 2020 national elections in the United States. The page, votevotevote.com, highlighted essential pro-voting messaging with entertaining content — and a lot of laughs.
The 2021 Digiday Video and TV Awards represent an industry at its best in many ways — from technology to social engagement to protecting each other and ourselves. This year’s winners produced content that amounted to a mirror — one that showed people working every day to live well and stay connected no matter the circumstances of the times.
