CLEARWATER, Fla., May 20, 2026 — Source 1 Solutions, a global managed IT, cybersecurity, communications, and infrastructure services provider headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, has been recognized with a Bronze Telly Award in the Motion Graphics & Design category during the 47th Annual Telly Awards for its 2025 branded holiday campaign, “Our Source Code is Humanity.”
Developed in partnership with Tampa-based strategic marketing and communications firm HCP Associates, the campaign blended cinematic storytelling, motion graphics, and emotionally driven messaging to celebrate the people, families, partnerships, and communities behind the technology industry.
The campaign focused on a simple but powerful idea: technology may connect the world, but people create the relationships that sustain it.
With team members, partners, and clients spanning more than 138 countries, the holiday campaign was designed to humanize the often unseen side of global technology operations through immersive visuals, animated storytelling, and messages centered on gratitude, connection, and community.
“At Source 1 Solutions, we never want technology to overshadow the people behind it,” said Robert Hessel, CEO of Source 1 Solutions. “Our relationships with employees, clients, partners, and communities around the world are the foundation of everything we do. Especially during the holidays, it becomes even more important to stay connected, celebrate family, recognize the contributions of our global teams, and remind people that trust and human relationships still matter in an increasingly digital world. This campaign captured that spirit beautifully.”
The award-winning campaign utilized advanced motion graphics, layered visual storytelling, and emotionally resonant creative elements designed to reinforce the company’s evolving brand platform, “Our Source Code is Humanity.” The campaign was distributed digitally across multiple channels as part of Source 1 Solutions’ broader initiative to position technology as a people-first experience rather than simply a collection of services.
“HCP Associates helped us tell a story that felt authentic to who we are as a company,” Hessel added. “The creative direction successfully blended innovation, warmth, and humanity into something that resonated with our team members and partners across the globe.”
The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens and are judged by leaders from major streaming platforms, television networks, production companies, and digital media organizations worldwide.
As Agency of Record for Source 1 Solutions, HCP Associates provides strategic marketing, branding, cinematic production, public relations, motion graphics, digital communications, and integrated storytelling support for the company’s national and international initiatives.
“Technology storytelling works best when audiences can emotionally connect with it,” said Eric Polins, Managing Partner at HCP Associates. “This campaign wasn’t about hardware or infrastructure alone. It was about the people behind mission-critical systems, the relationships that keep organizations moving forward, and the shared human experiences that connect global teams during the holidays and beyond.”
