Professor Recognition
Successfully teaching millions of satisfied customers
the skills needed to efficiently use computers is the key reason that
Video Professor products receive numerous awards.
The highest praise comes from the customers themselves who
give rave reviews of the distance learning system that
taught them the tools that they needed to succeed. However, a
number of organizations have also recognized Video
Professor for outstanding film and video production,
as well as marketing and communication creativity.
For their outstanding achievement from marketing and
communications professionals, the Video
Professor creative services and production teams
were awarded two MarCom Creative Awards. These
teams were well deserving of the awards for their work
on the famous Video Professor commercials and
packaging. Thanks to the work of these teams, John W.
Scherer, CEO and founder of Video Professor, has become known as a star of the
infomercial world. When one thinks about infomercials,
one of the first images to come to mind is Scherer
holding a Video Professor lesson saying, “Try my
product.®”
The higher of the two honors was bestowed upon the creative
services and production teams for their work on the Learn
eBay® commercial. This 60-second TV commercial received a
Platinum Award in the Television/Single spot category at the MarCom Creative Awards, while the
Video Professor Internet Security tutorial packaging
received a Gold Award in the Design/Packaging category.
Additionally, the Internet Security tutorial single CD also
received Honorable Mention in the
Design/Illustration/Graphic Design category.
The MarCom Creative Awards are given out by the Association
of Marketing and Communication professionals to marketing
and communication professionals who are central in the
conception, writing and design of marketing and
communication programs and print, as well as audio and
visual materials. Nominees and winners hail from corporate
marketing and communication departments, advertising
agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and
freelancers with the vast array of entrants acting as a
testament to the significance of these awards.
In addition to the MarCom Awards, for the past three years
Video Professor has won many Aurora Awards® for excellence in film and video
production. A Platinum Best of Show Award was bestowed upon
the Learn How to Buy and Sell on eBay tutorial in the
Technology/Computer Training category for the work of the
in-house production team. The Learn Wireless Networking and Learn The Internet with the AOL® Service tutorials also earned Gold Awards
in this category.
The Aurora Awards recognize people in the film and video
industries who have captivated their
audiences with their products and skills. These people hail
from private and corporate production groups, advertising
agencies and television stations. The awards provide deserved recognition to programs, CD-ROMs and
commercials that would not otherwise have the chance to
compete on an international level. This competition does
just that by finding the best of the film, video, and
multimedia industries around the world. The Aurora Awards
have entrants from every state in the U.S., as
well as Canada, Hong Kong, Denmark and Mexico, among
others.
