ICOOLYOUOFF |
|
During these uncertain times it was a major decision on my part
to contract with TVA & BWN for a Level II Media Package. I have been in the
HVAC/R trade for over (15) years. I submitted a story after the unfortunate attacks
on the United States on September 11, 2001. My story line contained an inexpensive
remedy to all types of indoor quality issues, also know as "Sick Building
Syndrome," a 10 Billion dollar a year problem in North America alone. During
the production of our show, the team members between our firms shared many ideas
pertaining to the story line. The resulting Spotlight has and still is generating
many responses due to the superb work and countless hours provided by the BWN
news team. TVA researched all aspects of the HVAC trade and when
we are ready to discuss the production of a Level III International show on
Icoolyouoff.Com, I would have no reservation to contract with TVA once again.
Since the airings commenced, the daily business activity at Icoolyouoff.Com
has increased substantially---along with our website traffic! TVA & BWN far
exceeded expectations from our staff and each day I thank God the decision was
made to contract with the above mentioned firm. If you would like to discuss my
working experience in conjunction with TVA & BWN in greater detail, please
don't hesitate to call Icoolyouoff.Com
at our worldwide toll free number which is 1-866-896-HVAC [4822]. Craig Lawrence

"For several years wešve been using one of the top production
companies in the country, TVA, to assist us with the production and editing of
our in-school communication programs. Our educational videos have been of such
high quality that hundreds of thousands of schools are continually using them
across the nation and such sponsors as Lincoln-Mercury, McDonalds, Disney, Dominoes,
Kellogg's, and Nickelodeon have been quick to jump on board as sponsors. Because
of the volume contract that TVA has with Technicolor, we are able to get very
competitive pricing with feature film duplication quality, exciting packaging
and distribution that to date, has met every deadline and budget that wešve thrown
at them." Brian Bice, President |

SCAN's
Spotlight and
Level III package was instrumental in getting new national
legislation passed. Spotlight aired intensively in Washington D.C. while
bill was being considered by Congress. From the Los Angeles Business Journal,
Jan. 10-16: ...executives with several other companies also believe they have
benefited from their association with the show. One such company is Long Beach-based
Senior Care Action Network (SCAN), a non-profit "social HMO" that was
the subject of an entire 30-minute episode. The reporters at "Business World
News" convinced Congressman Bill Thomas and Senator Jay Rockefeller to do
interviews on the segment. SCAN provides full long-term care benefits---such as
the services of housekeepers, cooks, and personal assistants-so that people who
would otherwise be forced to move into a nursing home can live at home. These
benefits are paid for by Medicare, but SCAN had a cap on its enrollment of 36,000.
The "Business World News" segment was used as part of a lobbying effort
to get the cap raised. Ultimately, Congress did vote to raise the cap. While SCAN
spokesman Paul Kenkel can't say for sure that the "Business World News"
segment was the cause, he says it certainly helped." (See additional
news article in
Healthcare PR & Marketing News) "I
think your crews were excellent in working with a complex set of objectives and
subject matter. Your professionalism was outstanding." Paul Kenkel, Director

"Now that a few weeks have passed since the Opening Day
of our attraction ``Quest for Camelot Nights," I can catch my breath long
enough to tell you what a tremendous success it has been. Judging from the thousands
of ``oohs" and ``aahs" this show is getting every night, the show is
a bonafide hit and we greatly appreciate your fine team's expertise and hard work
in ensuring its success. I realize it took many long and hard hours to provide
the specially formatted 70mm 8-perf film. for projection on the World's largest
floating Aqua-Screen - 96' x 182'. I'm proud to say this production is the largest
outdoor spectacular in Six Flags History and is the only one of its type on the
East Coast. Thanks for helping to bring it in on time, budget and with quality
that exceeds all expectations. More to come, I'm sure. Bob
