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.
