The TSA Just Won An Award for Being Funny. Seriously.
Meg Butler May 01, 2018
The TSA isn’t known for its sense of humor in person, but on Instagram, they’re pretty hilarious. So funny, in fact, that they just won three Webby awards in the following categories:
- Webby Award: Social Content – Marketing / Corporate Communications
- Webby Award: Social Content Marketing – / Weird
- People’s Voice Award: Social Content Marketing – / Weird
Bob Burns the TSA’s social media lead who writes the content for their social media page, had this to say: “We’re not in the entertainment business, but mixing humor with our messaging has been a very successful formula for us, and I’m glad IADAS as well as our followers have recognized and appreciated that.”
If you haven’t been to the TSA’s Instagram page, you really should. It’s a collection of crazy items confiscated from passengers — think nunchucks, unexploded mortars, and lots of drugs — with a heavy dose of puns:
