Hardy will join a council of experts including leaders from Adobe, RunwayML, IMAX, Netflix, HBO, Shutterstock, BBC, WNBA and Meta Creative Shop.
Miami, United States, October 13, 2026 -- MIAMI, 13 OCTOBER 2026. Sebastian Hardy, co-founder of Market Your Architecture, a marketing company for design-build, remodel and construction firms, has joined the Telly Awards Judging Council, the invite-only group of over 250 working industry leaders who judge The Telly Awards.
As the premier honor for video and television across all screens, The Telly Awards evaluates over 13,000 annual entries across branded content, social video, and commercial work. Submissions are scored against a standard of excellence rather than competing directly against each other, earning Gold, Silver, or Bronze honors based on three core criteria: Content & Quality of Message, Production & Execution, and Overall Experience.

This framework offers a practical standard any business owner can use to evaluate their own videos before publishing. On the Judging Council, Hardy evaluates work alongside leaders from Adobe, RunwayML, IMAX, Netflix, HBO, BBC, and Meta Creative Shop, joining a body that judges submissions sharing the stage with past winners like Disney, Warner Bros., and Amazon.
Hardy brings extensive hands-on production and media experience to the Council. A former Dentsu Europe Sales Lead who managed eight-figure campaigns for global brands like Nike, Swarovski, and Hilti, he has also built a massive personal footprint in video, appearing on camera in over 400 videos and generating more than 500 million views on his social channels, @SebastianHardyAI.
"Video is the dominant language of modern culture, and it's how businesses earn trust. The biggest misconception is that it takes a massive budget to pull off a great video, but Telly Award winners prove year after year that's just not the case. A clear message wins over flashy production every time, and that's the main thing I'll be looking for on the Judging Council," Hardy said.
