MarCom Awards: Peer Recognition and the Sweet Taste of Victory

Sometimes the sweetest taste of victory is when you don’t have to eat your words.

While looking for some weird killer fish, Jeremy Wade and the film crew happened upon a fellow that had gone fishing, lost his boat and was quite literally in mortal danger. Saved a life and made some great television. Right place. Right time.
