TORONTO, May 28, 2024 – Tamlo International is pleased to announce that Ben’s Web, the video drama embedded in our new 2024 Flag the Money™ course, has won a Gold Viddy (Videographer) award, one of the most coveted honours in the industry.

“In this new video we wanted to feature emerging trends such as the role of professional money launderers and the convergence of financial crime with terrorist financing. Ben’s Web effectively demonstrates how tugging at single threads of unusual activity can help to unravel a complex criminal network,” said Kairiin Bright, Vice President of Product Development, Tamlo International Inc.

Ben’s Web tells the story of a professional money launderer and a terrorist financier whose actions are uncovered by a diligent team of financial sector employees. The project was developed with guidance and feedback from compliance experts across the country to ensure the authenticity and relevance of the dramatic elements. Ben’s Web was written, directed and produced by Tamlo International’s in-house team.

“It was rewarding to work with Tamlo and my compliance colleagues on the new Flag the Money training course. We spent six months designing the program with Ben’s Web as the centrepiece to illustrate many of the teaching points we wanted to emphasize, and the feedback from our frontline employees shows that we succeeded,” said Brenda Mitchell, Manager, Compliance and Financial Crime, Connect First and Servus Credit Union Ltd.

The Viddy awards have been celebrating outstanding achievement in video production since 1994. Ben’s Web was selected from over 2,500 U.S., Canadian and international entries for a Gold Award, signifying a “project that exceeds industry standards and video artisans who excel in the scope of their own environment.” A list of all winners can be found on the Viddy Awards website at www.viddyawards.com
