'Reach for the Sky' Video
Earns Six Industry Awards

The popular recruiting video "Reach for the Sky," produced by the RE/MAX Satellite Network, has earned six awards in prestigious industry competitions - including the highest award possible in three of them.

The 28th Annual Telly Awards presented "Reach for the Sky" with its highest honor, the Silver Telly. In the Aurora Awards, the presentation was recognized as the Platinum Best-of-Show, and in The Videographer Awards it captured top honors with an Award of Excellence.

The video received additional recognition from The Omni Awards and The U.S. International Film and Video Festival. These competitions attract thousands of national and international entrants. Recent winners include organizations such as Discovery Channel, Time/Warner, Turner Broadcasting, Disney and PBS.

When the video was released earlier this year, more than 10,000 copies were sent to RE/MAX Broker/Owners. Since then, nearly 12,000 additional copies have been requested.

"The success of 'Reach for the Sky' has just been phenomenal," says RE/MAX International Senior Vice President of Media and Training Mike Ryan. "Because we're in a highly competitive business, our recruiting tools are critical. And having an award-winning tool like this gives our Broker/Owners a real edge. It helps them attract the highest-caliber professionals."

The recruiting video, which seeks to motivate prospects to "reach for the sky" in their career, was shot on location with a team of expert skydivers, who form a red, white and blue balloon shape as they race toward the earth. Extensive post-production graphics and animation were added to create a final product that captures an undeniable feeling of excitement.

RSN has been honored with dozens of industry awards in its 13-year history.
