To whom it may concern:

The purpose of my letter is to commend you on your staff at the Thibodaux branch of Charter Media. We have been very satisfied with the results of cable advertising, and the staff here always makes sure of that.

Daina Borne, our sales representative has put together a great package that has helped us maximize every dollar. Daina always makes sure the commercial shoots go off without a hitch, and our run schedules are flawless.

I have been doing commercials for our dealership for over seven years now and Delton Perrodin and Kip Pierce in the production department have by far been the best team yet. Kip always knows how to get the perfect shot. Even when I thought the shot was perfect, Kip likes to shoot it “one more time” to make sure. Delton’s work in the edit room has been flawless, from his creativity with the graphics to his perfection with the final product. Sometimes I forget to proof the spots. I guess I have that’s how much confidence I have that there correct.

I would also like to commend Dione Labat at Charter Channel 18. She has done an outstanding job designing our artwork and voiceover for the spots we run there. She has been a pleasure to deal with and is a great asset to your company.

You have a wonderful team at Charter Media. Keep up the great work.

Thank you,
Ron Weimer

Fellow Small Business Owners,

I have been directly handling the marketing activity for Peppers Pizzeria, The Piazza Bar, and Last Call Nightclub for their respective history of operations. Using many different mediums of advertisement, I have been personally responsible for the inception and production of print ads, radio spots, television commercials, community events, Internet websites, and various other methods of marketing our products. It sometimes becomes very difficult to measure the effectiveness of any media advertisement.

For over three years now, I have been advertising on television with Charter Media. At first, I was reluctant to advertise on television. How could I afford a spot? Daina Borne was sensitive to my needs and developed an approach that still works today. I can target my desired demographic through different networks, and group my advertising dollars in limited timeframes to maximize the effect. Daina understands my businesses need different exposure at different times of the year, and customizes my schedule to reflect this. Recently, Daina proposed a contract for Last Call Nightclub with a schedule that rotated on MTV, VHI and E! Networks. A spot was produced that exceeded all my expectations. It had tremendous impact and we saw results immediately!

I would highly recommend speaking to Daina about advertising with Charter Media. The relationship that they have built gives me total confidence that my advertising dollars are well spent.
