WorldVentures Holdings LLC, parent company of the travel industry’s direct-sales leader — WorldVentures — is a six-time winner in the 38th Telly Awards for its “Heart to Serve” video honoring the philanthropy work of WorldVentures Foundation™, the preferred charity partner of WorldVentures Holdings.
The video was named a Silver winner — the highest honor — for Social Responsibility and selected by judges as a Bronze winner in four other categories in the 2017 Telly Awards, which honor films, videos and commercials. In addition, internet voters chose the WorldVentures submission for a Bronze People’s Telly.
The award-winning entry was for a video produced featuring the foundation’s anthem written and performed by inspirational rapper Princeton Marcellis. Produced by WorldVentures’ in-house creative team, most of the video footage was captured at the site of a bottle school in Guatemala. Bottle schools are schools built using “eco-bricks” — plastic bottles stuffed with inorganic trash — to help provide a more sustainable educational infrastructure for communities in need.
“We are honored to support WorldVentures Foundation, as they make a true difference in the lives of children all over the world,” said Interim Chief Marketing Officer Deb Bursley.
