Dayton, OH - The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) recently received a bronze TELLY Award for a branding campaign that included three (3) television commercials which highlighted MVRPC’s primary areas of focus (transportation, environmental and land use planning).

The ads were produced locally by Rick Davis, President of DH Productions. “DH Productions recently completed three (3) “companion” television commercials that feature footage from communities from across Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and parts of northern Warren County. We intend to submit these new ones for a TELLY Award too,” stated Martin.
