Manhattan Strategies has earned 10 Viddy Awards recognizing excellence in enterprise video production, motion design, and executive communications content deployed across LinkedIn, YouTube, global events, paid media and corporate platforms.

The Viddy Awards are administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) and judged by industry professionals evaluating creativity, quality, and effectiveness. This year, approximately 19% of entries received Platinum awards, 23% received Gold, and about 9% earned Honorable Mention, underscoring how selective recognition is across a global field of entrants.

These wins reflect the operational maturity required to produce enterprise video today. Manhattan Strategies operates under SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which increasingly matters as video production intersects with earnings communications, investor messaging, product launches, policy positioning and executive visibility on LinkedIn. Enterprise organizations require creative partners who can work inside secure environments without slowing momentum.

Enterprise Video Now Lives Inside Enterprise Systems

Enterprise video is no longer a standalone marketing deliverable. It now lives inside executive communications, investor relations, internal alignment, paid media systems, product storytelling, recruiting and public affairs simultaneously. That shift changes what organizations require from a creative partner.

Security posture, governance discipline and operational rigor increasingly determine whether creative can actually ship. SOC 2 Type 2 enables teams to move faster with sensitive messaging, earnings context, embargoed announcements and executive positioning content without introducing friction or risk.

For many enterprise teams, creative excellence is now table stakes. Operational trust is a real differentiator, and we're hearing it from clients every day.

LinkedIn Earnings Videos Are Becoming Core Executive Infrastructure

One of the clearest patterns across this year’s winning work is how central LinkedIn video has become to executive communications, particularly around earnings and corporate performance moments.

CEOs are increasingly using LinkedIn video to frame results, contextualize performance, reinforce strategy and communicate directly with employees, investors, customers and policymakers simultaneously. Unlike traditional earnings communications, LinkedIn video extends narrative control beyond analyst calls and press coverage while creating a durable executive presence.

Winning work included formats designed specifically for LinkedIn distribution alongside YouTube and programmatic ecosystems, reflecting how enterprise communications now require modular video systems rather than single deliverables. Vertical and horizontal formats, short form edits, motion graphics overlays and paid amplification readiness are expected from the outset.

LinkedIn earnings video is quickly becoming a standard enterprise communications asset rather than an experimental channel.

Creative That Performs Across Enterprise Channels (and the Infrastructure Behind It)

Award-winning work today must function across LinkedIn, YouTube, paid media, internal platforms, live events, and sales environments without losing clarity or narrative discipline. That requires not just creative skill but integration with communications strategy, media planning, and executive positioning.

Manhattan Strategies approaches video as part of a broader communications system that includes executive LinkedIn programs, design systems, paid media deployment, and enterprise governance. Clients rely on the firm because creative output aligns with how enterprise organizations actually operate — globally distributed, compliance aware, and speed driven.

SOC 2 Type 2 certification reinforces that alignment by allowing creative work to move through enterprise environments without introducing risk or delay. The result is video that doesn’t just look strong but actually deploys effectively across the channels that matter most.

Congratulations to all of the awardees this year, and to our clients on this recognition!
