If you find Amanda’s voice and smile irresistibly charming you’re not alone. The reason she’s beaming? It’s because in 2006, the Communication Workers of America (CWA) negotiated with AT&T to bring back 5,000 offshored call center jobs like Amanda’s to America. The CWA called on Art Not War to tell her story. Art Not War sent a crew to North Carolina on a moment’s notice and turned this spot around in just a few days, in time for broadcast during the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

We couldn’t think of a better way to illustrate the metaphor of Mitt Romney stepping on the middle class than to show him, um, actually stepping on the middle class. Through the magic of a green-screen and some artful post-production at our Brooklyn studio, Art Not War was able to place our man Mitt smack dab in the middle of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL. Outlets like The Hill and Talking Points Memo took notice when MoveOn aired the ad in Florida during the actual RNC.

Bill Clinton, “The Man from Hope,” was raised by a single mom in small-town Arkansas. Mitt Romney, “The Man from Bloomfield Hills,” came of age in one of the nation’s toniest suburbs. Here, Art Not War pays tribute to Mitt’s not-so-rough-and-tumble life in the form of an epic nine minute “mockumentary,” dubbed the “most eccentric” political ad of its ilk by the Wall Street Journal. Featuring a cast of comedic actors from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, and starring Reno 911’s Kerri Kenney as Ann Romney, the “Man From Bloomfield HIlls” has made over 350,000 viewers laugh…and cry (in a wincing sort of way–pretty much all the maddening details about Romney are, unfortunately, true).
