cjrw brings home five telly awards

News

The screen’s a crowded place. Great creative finds a way to own it. Each year, the Telly Awards recognize that kind of work — the kind that stops the scroll, holds attention and leaves a lasting impression.

In 2026, CJRW earned five Telly Awards for work created with clients across tourism, entertainment and public safety. And with winners in the mix including brands like Bounty, Marriott International and Adobe, it’s a pretty fun crowd to be part of.

These honors showcase the range of video-driven creative happening across the agency and the collective talent and care it takes to get every piece just right. That’s the best part of awards like these: they give great storytelling its moment, let strong ideas take a bow and remind us why we love making this stuff in the first place.
Without further ado, here’s the list of this year’s award-winning work. Cue the confetti.
