Why do we call it FirstStrike? …more

When I first moved to this community I was surprised at the quality and creativity that I was hearing on some local commercials. Frankly, I thought they were produced in a large market and then sent here. I’ll admit it. I was biased towards large media markets after doing talent work in Sacramento and San Francisco. Then I met Rod Schwartz. He’s a creative genius and a consummate professional. He could work in any market but he prefers the non-urban environment and I don’t blame him, especially since I’m the mayor of Pullman. Over the years, Rod and I have had a chance to do a number of commercials and public service spots and it’s been a great experience and it’s been fun. He takes time to understand his client and his work reflects that. Give him a listen. It’s well worth your time!
