Ideen -- Finalist in ICY Awards!

Ideen is pleased to announce that one of its video productions was a finalist in the 2011 Intelligence Community Media Excellence Awards, fondly referred to as the "ICY Awards" by those who work in the Intelligence Community (IC). The finalists and winners were announced at the 17 March 2011 awards ceremony, hosted by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

In 2010, Ideen worked with the National Counterterrorism Center and the NRO's Media Services Center to produce a promotional video for the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System or "WITS." The video was designed to raise awareness across the IC and academia of WITS, a free, highly accurate database that tracks terrorist incidents across the globe. (WITS can be accessed at NCTC's public website -- http://www.nctc.gov/.) The video was tested at a small conference of academics in June 2010, and based on the positive feedback generated, was then released at the 2010 GEOINT Symposium in New Orleans, which is attended by thousands from across the IC.

The WITS video, which competed with dozens of short videos from IC agencies, placed among the top four in its category.

Ideen is excited to be recognized for its work by its communications peers within the IC.
