CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "TV Is Faster" This TV spot has won multiple awards, including a Telly Award. A little setup is required for those people who aren't familiar with the 23rd Senate District. Pat Kreitlow, a former news anchor, was running against an 18 year incumbent state legislator who was known for riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle supposedly as many as 70,000 miles per year around his district (and charging that mileage back to the taxpayers .. imagine that!) Still, his image as a "biker" was seen as a strength so the strategy in this commercial was to turn that image into a joke. It worked: Kreitlow defeated the incumbent. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Tranquility" This TV spot has also won multiple awards, including a Telly Award. You have never seen a television commercial for campaign like this one ... go ahead: just watch it! Now, imagine this spot in the middle of a commercial break filled with loud automobile commercials ... and political ads. It WILL be noticed ... if only because there is absolutely no spoken words in it at all. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Tranquility 2" The follow up to Tranquility ... we would attempt to schedule this spot in the same break as Tranquility so that voters would think they were about to see the same spot (they start with the same shot and same sounds) but then instead they are surprised by Pat delivering a message about what he will do to protect our natural resources. A very effective commercial and strategy. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Bob Jauch: "Working For Us" Bob was running for reelection to the Wisconsin State Senate and just needed a simple spot reminding voters about who he is and what he has done while in Madison. This is a great example of a low cost commercial, using simply still images, that still conveys a strong message. Bob was reelected. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Roberta Rasmus: "Differences" This is a great compare and contrast spot for Roberta Rasus, who was running for a seat in the Wisconsin State Assembly. First, it starts with a negative look at her opponent and then nicely pivots with a positive message from Roberta. Very effective. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Special Interests" This commercial does a great job of tackling special interest ads head on. We used a snippet of audio from an actual special interest radio commercial at the very beginning and then a very effective message from Pat. Note the very subtle reference at the end to Minnesota trash: in the garbage can is a Minnesota license plate and newspaper, as well as a brochure from Pat's opponent, Dave Zein, who supported allowing Minnesota companies to dump their trash in Wisconsin landfills. Subtle ... but effective! GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Issues That Matter" More of a traditional campaign commercial; very strong on the issues and against the incumbent. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Special Interest Ads 2" Here's another commercial for the Kreitlow For Senate campaign that tackles the special interest ads head on ... plus gets another jab in at his opponent for supporting allowing Minnesota companies to dump their trash in Wisconsin landfills. A great example of a strong message and strong delivery connecting effectively with voters in a very simple commercial. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kerry Kittel: "Opening Doors" A fairly straight forward television commercial introducing Kerry Kittel, candidate for Wisconsin State Assembly.

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Public Lands" Somewhat of a controversy during the tenure of the Republican led State Senate in Wisconsin was a tentative plan to sell off some public lands to make up a budget deficit. In the 23rd Senate district, where hunting and fishing is regards as a God-given right, the Kreitlow For Senate campaign was able to effectively turn that issue into a referendum on selling off hunting and fishing land.

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Health Care" In 2006, just like today, health care costs were on voter's minds. The Kreitlow For Senate campaign again delivered a strong message in a very personal way in a simple but effective commercial. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "Contrasts" Near the end of the campaign, it was time to bring out the "big guns" in this hard hitting commercial detailing the incumbent's failures over the past 18 years. Hard hitting yes ... but also quite effective. GO TO TV COMMERCIAL

CLICK HERE to Watch Commercial! Kreitlow For Senate: "More Tranquility" Finally, to close out the Kreitlow For Senate campaign, we thought we would return to a version of the tranquility spot since once again it would stand out in a sea of loud, obnoxious political ads at the end of the campaign season.
