Crawford, known for drawing subtle and convincing

performances holds true to his talents, bringing note worthy and relevant fun

to a category sorely in need of it. Its Sams gift, says Executive

Producer John Noble. His ability to combine a laugh out loud moment

with relatable people and situations is rare.

I love seeing any company take a disruptive stance in

their category. That had real appeal for me right away; to be different

but relevant, thats the trick. In that regard, the Sleepys team and I were on

the same page from the get go, and I think the work shows the clarity of that

teamwork, says Director Sam Crawford.

Creative Director and Copywriter John Mahoney of Spike

Communications comments, From first phone call to final edit, Sam kept making

the spots better. He's relentless, talented, committed, and a lot of fun to

be around. Spike Communications is based in Richmond, VA.

Crawford continues, The spots are fun to watch, seem

to resonate with people, and contain a strong competitive message. After all,

mattresses are important. We spend half our life on mattresses and at least

part of that is spent watching TV commercials. At least that's what I do.

The spots were shot in Chicago and Virginia. The Traveling

Picture Show Company and Sam were a breeze to work with. Production went just

as smoothly in our own backyard as it did in Chicago, says agency producer

Virginia Bertholet.

Talented, collaborative, and wicked smart. But enough

about me, let's talk about Sam Crawford and Traveling Picture Show, laughs Spike

Creative Director and Art Director Hal Tench.
