Full-service marketing agency Kahn Media recently received four dotCOMM awards, including two Platinum Awards, a Gold Award and an Honorable Mention, for its creative video, motion graphics and social media work for longtime automotive clients Ringbrothers, Galpin Ford and Roush Performance.
The dotCOMM Awards honor excellence in web creativity and digital communication, designed to “reflect the pivotal role creatives play in transforming the marketing and communication of products and services,” according to a press release announcing the awards. Each year, judges evaluate and select the creative industry’s best marketing campaigns, website development, mobile apps, content marketing, video creation and other digital elements.
Winners in a multitude of categories are honored with Honorable Mentions, Gold Awards or Platinum Awards. The competition is administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, one of the oldest and most respected evaluators of creative work in the marketing and communications industry.
“It is an amazing accomplishment and honor to receive four dotCOMM Awards,” said Dan Kahn, Kahn Media president and CEO. “Our creative and social media teams all work exceptionally hard to deliver engaging content for our clients that captures attention and connects with their audiences. These awards reflect their capabilities, passion and commitment and are definitely well-deserved.”
2025 dotCOMM Awards
Kahn Media received a Platinum dotCOMM Award in the Short Form Video category for its “Nightmare Returns” launch video for Roush Performance. An edgy and graphics-rich video shot in downtown Los Angeles, it highlights the debut of Roush’s high-performance 2025 Ford F-150, dubbed “Nightmare.” Using a nocturnal setting and a multitude of graphic effects, “Nightmare Returns” conveys the sinister nature of Roush’s new tire-twisting truck.
An additional Platinum Award was bestowed upon Kahn Media in the Sizzle Reel category for its 2025 highlight reel. A crisply edited video with engaging imagery and behind-the-scenes footage, it showcases the capability of Kahn Media’s in-house creative team.
A Gold dotCOMM Award in the Social Content category was awarded to Kahn Media for its Instagram Reel for Ringbrothers. Featuring an anime character dancing on the hood of Ringbrothers’ recent 1969 Dodge Charger project vehicle “TUSK,” the short clip showcases the results of a creative take on social media coupled with a client not afraid of out-of-the-box thinking, according to the firm.
Kahn Media’s short social media video for Galpin Ford won a dotCOMM Honorable Mention in the Special Effects/Animation category. Showing a Ford Bronco seamlessly transforming into a Ford F-150, it was created by Kahn Media’s video graphics and motion experts.
