The award, Trainer's fourth national Videographer Award in the last five years, was granted by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP).

Addressing growing market demand for creative, compelling content creation to fuel social media and traditional media campaigns, Trainer has expanded its video practice to include animation offerings -- from ideation through turnkey production. Trainer clients leverage such creative content to generate thought-leadership opportunities and support sales initiatives.

"Trainer Communications brings a unique creative flair to all of our projects," said Megan Bucks, Nimsoft Marketing. "It's no surprise Trainer won this award again -- its internal video expertise is unlike any we have experienced in a public relations agency. Nimsoft is proud to share the spotlight with Trainer for this national award, and we can't wait to get started on our next creative project together."

About the Video -- Nimsoft: Modern IT
Trainer leveraged the combination of engaging video and cartoon-style animation to create an "edutainment" video for Nimsoft that speaks to the company's Modern IT thought leadership initiative. Trainer's approach was to combine the credibility generated by IT executives interviewed in the video with a humor-based animation designed to entertain the viewer. Nimsoft showcased this award-winning production during a live, globally-coordinated launch event featuring the announcement of a major product line. Subsequently, Nimsoft has used the video and animation for social media purposes, as creative content for the sales organization, and as a tool for driving prospects and partners to the website.

This video embodies Trainer's edgy approach and sets a new bar for future videos that Trainer or other companies will produce."
