Client Penguin Computing enlisted Karbo Com to highlight the HPC leader’s key role in creating Ang Lee’s technologically groundbreaking film, Gemini Man. The resulting case study video, featuring interviews with Gemini Man’s Technical Supervisor Ben Gervais, and Kevin Tubbs, Senior Director, Technology and Business Development at Penguin Computing, was recognized by multiple honors from creative award programs.

Karbo Com was also recognized as a silver winner alongside industry giants Comcast and Nickelodeon by the Telly Awards, a program honoring video and television.
In addition to creative awards, the agency was also recognized by the PR industry’s top award programs. The American Business Awards, nicknamed the Stevie® Awards, awarded Karbo Com with the Bronze medal for Public Relations Agency of the Year. This is the third consecutive year Karbo Com has been honored as one of the top three agencies in the country. Winners were chosen from more than 3,700 nominations across industries for categories such as Startup of the Year and Best New Product or Service of the Year.
Additionally, Karbo Com was ranked as a top PR agency in the San Francisco Bay Area and in tech PR nationally by O’Dwyer’s PR News, a publication ranking over 100 of the most successful PR firms annually. Karbo Com has consistently been listed in O’Dwyer’s rankings over the last fifteen years.
