Streaming Tank win a Silver Dolphin at the Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards
Streaming Tank has won a prestigious Silver Dolphin at this year’s Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards. This is a truly international event which is in its second year, building on the success of both last year and the more famous Cannes film festival, visited by movie stars from around the world.
Initially there were 410 entries from 27 countries worldwide, with all the films being evaluated by an international jury before narrowing the field down to 82 finalists, who in turn were then split into several different set categories.
The awards are an opportunity not just for corporate businesses, TV stations, production companies and film producers but also for film makers and students to present themselves to the media and clients in order to receive high recognition for their work.
Streaming Tank won the Silver Dolphin award within the ‘Webcasts’ category for their record breaking film ‘Starbucks Love Project’ which has already won a host of other leading industry awards. The film was originally commissioned on behalf of Starbucks and the charity RED, along with lead agency BBDO in New York, in an effort to raise awareness about the spread of AIDS in Africa.
The project consisted of assembled singers in 156 different countries around the world simultaneously performing the hit Beatles song ‘All you need is Love’, live and online. The event subsequently saw Streaming Tank enter into the Guinness World Records™ for “Most Nations in an Online Sing-a-long”, while the music video topped the Top 20 viral Videos chart with over 2 million hits on YouTube.
In the end the event proved so successful that it allowed RED to raise enough money to buy more than 7 million days of medicine for people living with HIV in Africa, so while the awards are nice for Streaming Tank, they have not lost sight of the fact that the real reward for the project lies in the help it is giving to those people in Africa who need it the most.
