Dallas-based Minerva Consulting, a boutique full-service communications firm, has received four Telly Awards for work on behalf of its clients.
The Telly Awards is a prestigious award that each year showcases the best work created within television and across video, for all screens.
“We are thrilled to receive this honor from the Telly Awards and for our work to be recognized alongside such distinguished companies,” President and CEO Ashley Elsey said in a statement. “We take seriously the transformative power of a story and are humbled for the opportunity to share our clients’ work and the impact they are trying to make.”
Minerva Consulting said that the Institute for Higher Education Policy “Higher Ed is How” video series received a Silver and Bronze Telly, the Paul Quinn “Basketball Court” video was also awarded a Silver Telly, and Hunt Energy’s “A Global Commitment to Sustainability” video was named a Bronze Telly winner.
More on the winning entries
Working with the Institute for Higher Education Policy, Minerva created the five-part animated video series “Higher Ed is How” showcasing the organization’s purpose and four pillars of its research, policy, and advocacy efforts to make higher education more accessible, affordable, and equitable. The series received a Silver Telly Award in the Branded Content Campaign – Nonprofit category, and a Bronze Telly Award in the Branded Content Campaign – Social Impact category.
Paul Quinn, the innovative urban college in Dallas, is the nation’s first Urban Work College. It worked with Minerva Consulting to tell the story of its new basketball court design, which gained national attention for its unique look and meaning.

The court features a black and white photo of the Dallas skyline during pre-integration and highlights the impact the college has had over its 151-year history for racial and social justice. The video received a Silver Telly Award in the Branded Content Campaign – Educational Institution category.
Hunt Energy’s “A Global Commitment to Sustainability” video received a Bronze Telly Award in the Non-Broadcast General-Corporate Social Responsibility category.
The video showcased Hunt’s strategic approach to sustainability and achieving its ESG goals. Integrated into its mission to impact humanity for the better, the corporation’s longstanding work in sustainability is grounded in the pillars of people, plant, and direction.
