I tried so hard to not open this up with some tired cliché.

They all won Channel WDIV 4′s 2010 4 The Best contest!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, the 4 The Best contest is the biggest consumer-based voting contest in the region. Winning it is a huge honor, because it requires thousands and thousands of votes (to give you some idea, there were 239,649 votes for the whole contest across categories).
It’d be easy for me to say that it’s because of the video marketing they do that they won, but then I’d have to wipe the used-car salesman slime off myself.
In all seriousness, though, it wasn’t just because of video that these guys are high-profile. It’s their overall attitude towards marketing, and they take multiple, greatapproaches to marketing themselves. Video is a component in their overall strategy, and we are oh-so-proud of our clients.
