3 On Your Side Testimonial

From KYW in Philly, a testimonial spot for their brand:

The Rise and Shine Rap

WTVD in Raleigh-Durham produced this -- originally as a social media play.  The response from viewers was positive - so they turned it into a :60 on-air spot.

I applaud them for trying something different.  This is well shot and edited. And the song is catchy!
