“Phoenix Dream Days” wins more awards, launches new webisodes featuring a mayor and a nightlife expert
Jun 17th
Things have been so busy here at Generation Idea Media that we haven’t had the time to share all of the great things that have been going on with our “Phoenix Dream Days” project…
First up, some awards excitement… We just learned that the series, which we are producing for the Greater Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau, won a Telly Award in the Travel/Tourism category. The series also recently won an Adrian Award, presented by the HSMAI (Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International), which honors travel marketing excellence.
Secondly, two new webisodes of “Phoenix Dream Days” are now live on the on the Phoenix CVB’s website as well as in the client section of Generation Idea Media’s website and on YouTube. We spent an action-packed day with Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, doing everything from enjoying one of the finest lattes in town to running through a noodle forest (yes, you read that right, a “noodle forest”) . With Arizona Republic Nightlife Editor Megan Finnerty, we let her expertise lead the way, producing our first Dream Night, indulging in a bruschetta menu as long as my arm, a legendary steak restaurant, and Old Town Scottsdale’s energetic bar and club scene.
