Wonderful use of home, farm and family as examples of the lifestyle. The beautiful setting and results would influence a viewer to pledge. Shot well, full of crisp colors that match the colorful
personalities.

Smart strategy to use local talent with recipes and products to use as pledge premiums. Fun and successful.

A great way to create locally relevant pledge programming, while going above and beyond to profile a Michigan success story. Beautifully executed and now I'm hungry.
