“Our number one job is to tell Omaha’s story and convince people that Omaha is worth a visit,” said Keith Backsen, Executive Director of the OCVB. “A big part of that story is Omaha’s phenomenal local dining scene. Our local restaurants are a huge selling point and they make Omaha stand out from the crowd.”

The Telly Awards honor the very best in film and video productions. The 36th Annual Telly Awards received over 13,000 entries from all 50 states and 5 continents.

The OCVB ‘Now Serving Omaha’ campaign also received an ADDY Award from the Nebraska Chapter of the American Advertising Federation. Additionally, the ‘It Happens on Bob’ video campaign won an ADDY Award in the Online/Interactive category. The goal of ‘It Happens on Bob’ is to increase awareness of Omaha as a visitor destination by turning a one-of-a-kind bridge into a personality that connects with people in a fun and creative way.
