METROPOLIS MEDIA GROUP WINS “BEST TV AD”
AT THE TIME THIS AD AIRED…
85,000 Kaiser Permanente hospital workers were gearing up for what would have been the largest strike in the United States in over two decades.
It didnt happen.
One day after the ad began airing, Kaiser demanded that the networks take it down. Two weeks later, Kaiser’s CEO released a statement insisting our client’s tactics would get them nowhere. Week Three, Kaiser acquiesced, caving to the unions on several key demands and ending the negotiations.
THE WINNING COMMERCIAL…
The idea of featuring a day in the life of a housekeeper to highlight the discrepancy between executive and housekeeper salaries is simple enough. But packing a complete story spanning an entire day at work and home and key message points into a cohesive :30 requires a special level of finesse.
For outstanding execution of a tricky concept, and for helping avoid a strike that would’ve hurt patients and workers, “Fitzgerald” was awarded the highest honor for “Best TV Ad” in the independent category at the 2020 Reed Awards.
Congratulations firstly to our long time client, Rally, for putting together such a brilliant and well strategized overall campaign. And secondly to the entire Metropolis Media Group team who worked tirelessly, filming in two different cities, and our post production team who produced over 30 editorial ‘versions’ of the commercial to arrive at what we consider one of the best & most successful spots we’ve ever produced.

CUSTOMIZED WORKFLOWS
Not every company operates the same - which we love. Some clients prefer minimal control, other's like to be involved and oversee shoots and edits every step of the way. We've created custom back-end workflows for each of our clients tailored to their campaign requirements, proofing mannerisms, and general operating preferences.
THE PINNACLE OF EFFICIENCY
We are at the forefront of production technology with LIVE streaming from our shoots, and the most sophisticated and streamlined post production workflow possible. We have invested heavily in providing our clients unrivaled technological advantages over their competitors, speeding up production times while maximizing quality control. Several of our team are also technical advisors for Apple's various Film & Television production software applications, putting the Metropolis Media Group at the pinnacle of workflow technology today.
LIVE [HD] streaming
When out in the field filming, our clients enjoy the countless benefits associated with our live broadcast systems.
Wherever we're filming in the U.S.A (or world), we are able to stream an HD feed from the camera directly to our client’s boadroom, desktop computer, iPad, or Smartphone. This allows our clients to watch in on every take as it happens as though they are there on set, providing unparalleled quality control during campaign commercial shoots.
Media Cloud for Instant Edit Reviews
No more dropbox uploads or crunching low quality videos into emails during the proofing stages. Our clients are busy, and our express workflow allows them to give immediate feedback & adjustments during the editing process, wherever they are.
Depending on their desired involvement level, clients can be notified via automated text or email as soon as a new edit version is ready for review & approval. Campaign directors can instantly review the HD video on their computer, tablet, or smartphone, even discreetly during a meeting, and comment quickly, right there and then on their device. Feedback and edit adjustments are done without ever having to send an email.
