Market Your Architecture Co-Founder Sebastian Hardy Joins Telly Awards Judging Council

Oct 13, 2026

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.

Is this the best time for US strategists to push for abandoning ambiguity on Taiwan?

For nearly five decades, the United States’ Taiwan policy has centred on strategic ambiguity by not declaring whether it would intervene militarily in a potential Taiwan conflict. This policy – designed to deter Beijing from using force while preventing Taipei from formally declaring independence – is being challenged by realist US strategists amid a broader debate over America’s role in the world, growing constraints on US military might and a shifting regional balance of power driven by...

US Army receives 1st Hanwha-made mobile howitzer system: report

The U.S. Army has received its first South Korean-made mobile howitzer system as part of efforts to replace its aging artillery systems, a U.S. defense news outlet reported Monday. The Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC), manufactured by Hanwha Defense USA, a U.S. subsidiary of South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace Co., was displayed at a U.S. Army event held in Washington earlier this month, Defense News reported, citing U.S. Army officials. "We're excited to have that and get ready to test it," Brig. Gen. Robert Mikesh Jr., the Army's portfolio management executive for offensive fires, was quoted as saying. "And get that soldier feedback, that we think is so important." In August, Hanwha Defense USA was selected to provide prototypes based on a wheeled variant of the bestselling K9 Thunder self-propelled artillery for the MTC program, which aims to develop a highly mobile 155 mm artillery system to replace the Army's aging M777 towed howitzers. The contract calls for the delivery of six MTC prototypes, with an option for an additional 12 systems, and has a cumulative value of up to $262.9 million, a

Adding 'jeong' to technology

This year, the combined operating profits of Korea’s semiconductor companies are expected to soar well beyond 500 trillion won ($373 billion), reaching unprecedented levels. Some have likened this extraordinary performance to winning a lottery. But I see it differently. What we are witnessing today, I believe, is not a stroke of good fortune. Rather, it is the culmination of decades of perseverance, sacrifice and dedication. As Koreans know well, countless companies, engineers and technicians have worked since the 1970s to build the foundations of the nation’s semiconductor industry. After nearly half a century of accumulated effort, the seeds they planted are finally coming to fruition. A similar story of long-term commitment can be found in the rapid growth of international students choosing to study in Korea. In 2023, the Ministry of Education launched the Study Korea 300K Project, setting a goal of attracting 300,000 international students by 2027. That target has already been achieved ahead of schedule, with the number of international students in Korea surpassing 300,000 this

Delivery fee cap risks shifting costs to riders, consumers

Pending bills at the National Assembly proposing a cap on delivery platform fees charged to food businesses to reduce their financial burdens, particularly small businesses with limited customer bases, are raising questions about the effectiveness of the proposed changes. Industry experts have examined the current ecosystem, which consists of food-ordering platforms, participating businesses, customers who place orders and riders who deliver them. They found that the cap could reduce the burden on businesses using the platforms but shift that cost to other groups in the ecosystem, such as riders and consumers. Three bills proposing different versions of the cap are pending at the National Assembly. One was proposed by Rep. Lee Kang-ill of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Policy Committee. He proposed capping the combined brokerage fee, payment processing fee and advertising expenses at 15 percent of an order's value, while imposing a separate cap and a minimum floor on delivery fees. Rep. Park Jeong-hun of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) propo

N. Korea reports test-firing of 'tactical' ballistic missile to improve weapons systems

North Korea has test-fired a tactical ballistic missile to upgrade a key component of its weapons systems, which it called a "big success," the country's state media reported Tuesday. The report came a day after South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) detected multiple ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang area toward the East Sea. North Korea's missile administration "test-fired a tactical ballistic missile on Oct. 12 to confirm the success in the research for the technical upgrading of an important core element," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. The administration claimed that the upgrade "was a big success heralding an important change in improving the performance and sophistication of all offensive weapon systems," it added, describing the test as part of regular activities. The North did not disclose further details about the test-firing. The JCS earlier noted that North Korea launched multiple types of ballistic missiles, with one specific kind of missile flying more than 900 kilometers, and that South Korean and U.S. authorities were conducting a detailed
