Co-Mo Connect has been awarded a Gold Viddy Award for excellence in video production for one if its recent video ads, which features a bold brand storytelling designed to be memorable and entertaining.
The Viddy Awards, administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), recognize outstanding achievement in video and digital production across a global field of entries evaluated by experienced industry professionals.
The award-winning video features Chip Thunder, a larger-than-life racing legend who pushes Co-Mo Connect’s ultra-fast internet speeds to the extreme. Co-Mo’s winning video was selected from over 50,000 entries from across the United States, Canada, and 33 other countries.
While intentionally over-the-top and humorous, the video’s purpose is strategic. It uses bold entertainment and storytelling to reinforce Co-Mo Connect’s broadband capabilities in a way that stands out in a crowded digital landscape and sticks with viewers long after the video ends.
“Chip Thunder represents our willingness to be creative, memorable, and a little unexpected,” said Aaron Bradshaw, Chief Executive Officer of Co-Mo Connect. “Broadband is a serious investment for our communities, but that doesn’t mean the way we talk about it has to be boring. This project shows how storytelling and humor can work together to build brand recognition, spark curiosity, and help people remember who we are and what we do.”
Chip Thunder has become a recognizable and effective brand character for Co-Mo Connect. To date, Chip Thunder videos have generated more than one million views, demonstrating the power of entertaining storytelling to drive awareness and engagement around broadband growth.
The video was created by Co-Mo Connect’s marketing team, including Manager of Marketing Gene McCoy, Manager of Communications Patrick Wood, and Graphic Designer Derek Wright, in collaboration with Clum Creative. Together, the team focused on blending cinematic visuals, humor, and brand messaging to create content that feels less like traditional marketing and more like shareable entertainment.
In addition to the Gold Viddy Award, Co-Mo also received an honorable mention for a separate Chip Thunder video during this award period.
By earning these Viddy Awards, Co-Mo Connect joins a global group of organizations recognized for pushing creative boundaries while delivering clear, impactful videos. The Viddy Awards are one of the most respected competitions in the film and video industry, honoring creatives who push the boundaries of storytelling and digital innovation.
