Comtech Corporation produced the multi-media campaign for the Rockford Mass Transit District. The campaign consisted of a DVD presentation titled “Perception vs. Reality”, which debunked the “urban myths” of mass transit, while presenting the need for and affordability of mass transit in the greater Rockford area. The treatment was based upon random “man on the street” interviews which were conducted throughout the city. The DVD was packaged with the RMTD’s printed Annual Report; two thirty second broadcast television commercials were also produced, which completed the campaign materials. All items are posted on the Rockford Mass Transit District’s web site www.rmtd.org.

Comtech Corporation is honored to have received this international recognition. Comtech is a client centered, “best practices” video and new media production company. Utilizing high-def production and post production technology, Comtech continues to produce award-winning presentations, special interest programs, website design, print and innovative media solutions for marketing, public relations and education.
