Nail Communications Wins Regional EMMY for Best Commercial

Jun. 12, 2026

Nail Communications has received a Boston/New England Regional Emmy® Award for Outstanding Commercial – Single Spot, according to Nail
Creative Partner, Alec Beckett. The commercial was created for The Elms—one of The Newport Mansions, a long-time agency client. Working with the museum’s curators, Nail homed in on the story of the Berwind family, whose coal mining fortune built The Elms, and the staff of immigrants who went on strike over working conditions in one of the earliest examples of labor protest in the country.

Beckett explained:

“We distilled that history down to the theme of ‘American ambition. Then we set out to dramatize this history in the form of a theatrical trailer. Live the Drama” at The Elms Extended Trailer."

 

Kevin O'Leary, Marketing Director for the Newport Mansions added:

“One of our key strategic goals is to generate more interest in the mansions among younger, more diverse audiences. And this cinematic approach has proven extremely effective.”
