Our projects
Calgary Awards
The Calgary Awards represent more than just recognition, they’re a testament to the incredible individuals and organizations that breathe life into the Calgary community. Every year, stories of dedication, innovation, and unwavering community spirit take center stage, inspiring everyone who witnesses them.
The Collaboration
This prestigious ceremony brings together city councillors, the mayor, and the entire Calgary community through a carefully orchestrated blend of live presentations, compelling vignettes, and seamless web broadcasting. It’s where local heroes get their moment in the spotlight, and where their stories reach audiences both in the room and across the digital landscape.
The Company Inc. stepped into this meaningful project with our signature collaborative approach, working hand-in-hand with the awards team to bring their vision to life. Selected from a competitive pool of applicants, we took on the crucial task of producing the recipient vignettes, those powerful mini-documentaries that capture the essence of each honoree’s contribution to Calgary.
Working closely with the team at The City of Calgary we developed scripts and shot lists from the nominee bios, conduct documentary style interviews, and source additional content where needed. Post-production concluded with professional voice overs, motion graphic design, colour correction, and sound design. Client review and approvals were easy though our online process and every step of the project is tracked on Trello to allow complete transparency and seamless communication between teams.
But here’s where our collaborative spirit really shone: we didn’t just stop at vignette production. Our team’s expertise in live broadcast technology made us the natural choice to crew the entire in-house ceremony while simultaneously managing the web simulcast. This dual capability meant seamless coordination between storytelling and technical execution – exactly what an event of this caliber demands.
On the day of the ceremony we provided expert crew to work closely with the team at Adams Technologies, the official technical team for The City of Calgary. From directing, switching, camera, graphics, and playback to teleprompter operation and technical troubleshooting our team integrated seamlessly with the engineers from Adams and produced a seamless 90 minute production.
Our work on the Calgary Awards showcases what happens when technical expertise meets genuine collaboration – when a production company doesn’t just execute a brief but becomes a true partner in celebrating community excellence.
The consensus
“Reflecting on the fact that all of this was achieved while navigating the dynamics of the approaching the first in-person Calgary Awards since the onset of the pandemic highlights the incredible competence and talents of this team.”

“We have had the pleasure of working on the Calgary Awards since 2017, and one of the key benefits to working on this project year after year is that it allows us to find efficiencies in our process and that makes room for us to increase the quality of the end product without raising the price.”
