Russell Herder Receives Service Industry Advertising Award for MVTA Video

Russell Herder’s work for the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) was recently recognized by the Service Industry Advertising Awards (SIAAwards). “A Seamless Service Symphony” was named a winner and awarded in the Special Video category.

“A Seamless Service Symphony” was a collaborative and multifaceted production. Musicians from the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, numerous bus drivers, crew members and production staff worked to coordinate and execute the multi-camera shoot on location at the Southbridge Crossing Park & Ride.
