2016 AWARDS SEASON

Brian Watanabe June 13, 2016

It was a great year for shiny, heavy, pointy, and generally dangerous to handle while drinking, advertising awards. The creative I worked on won numerous awards including:

• 1 Silver National Addy: Consolidated Theatres, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Poster"
• 6 Gold Pele Awards:
2 for the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, "Let Hawaii Happen."
3 for the Department of Transportation, "Hawaii Storm Patrol Activity Book."
1 for Consolidated Theatres "Tokyo Drift"
• 1 Shorty Awards Finalist "Let Hawaii Happen: A Surprise Wedding."
• 1 Silver and 3 Bronze Telly Awards (including a "People's Choice") for "Let Hawaii Happen"

Thanks to all my collaborators and clients at MVNP. Here's to more great work this year as I branch out on my own with 26 Keys Creative (more on this to come!).

#NewWorkWednesday! If you watched the @merriemonarchfestival you may have caught our new spot for @kamehamehaschools. There are worse jobs than waking up at 3:30am to shoot multiple sunrises. ☀️🕶☀️ Mahalo to @jacob_chinn_photography for the beautiful images, all-star @the_chiho, Andrea Kanno, the entire KS team (shout out to @jessjessmalia for doing double-duty as our pro voiceover), all the ‘ōiwi leader volunteer talent who woke up with us, and my great post-team, @debratorial and @carpaltunneldiem (for the amazing color) at @montajnine and @rossok808 at @posthub808. This is the ‘ōlelo Hawai’i version (volume up!). You can hear the English version at @Brianwatanabe. 🎬☀️🎥 Repost from @kamehamehaschools • E ala e nā alakaʻi ʻōiwi, e ala e ka lāhui. Driven by their passion, led by their values and grounded in their Hawaiian identity, ‘ōiwi leaders strive to create a better Hawai‘i and a better world. We celebrate their commitment to helping our lāhui rise. #oiwileaders #oiwileadership #imuakamehameha #kamehamehaschools
