The largest expense is reported as $723,064 to "Nonbox" at 5307 South 92 Street Hales Corners WI for "Issue Advocacy Media". <br /><br />Coincidentally that is the same Nonbox mentioned here by the <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/senate/the-10-best-ads-of-the-2010-pr.html" rel="nofollow">Washington Post.</a><br /><br /> <i> Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker (R) ran for and won the gubernatorial primary against former Rep. Mark Neumann (R) by emphasizing his average Joe-ness. No ad better captured that "voice of the people" sensibility than this one where Walker is driving around the state in his beat-up 1998 Saturn. (The obvious homage to the Scott Brown truck ad also gets points.) Walker gets extra points for hiring a local consultant -- Hales Corners, Wisconsin-based Nonbox -- to do the ads.</i> Youtube Link to that commercial for the sake of completeness: <a href="http://youtu.be/llEw5FmG_Qg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llEw5FmG_Qg</a><br /><br />Nonbox and Scott Walker Have a long history. <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/stories/2010/05/17/story14.html?page=all" rel="nofollow">One account of the relationship</a>:<br /><br /><i>Neumann’s Republican primary opponent, Scott Walker, is working with Bill Eisner’s Nonbox advertising, Hales Corners, which has run numerous Republican and conservative issue campaigns the past dozen years. Eisner represented Neumann in his unsuccessful 1998 challenge of U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, but has worked for Walker since Walker’s 2002 run for Milwaukee County executive.<br /><br />Walker campaign manager Keith Gilkes said he is unfamiliar with Avicom Marketing Communications. He said Walker and Eisner have developed a very good working relationship and the Walker team likes Eisner’s creative talent. So far, the Walker ad campaign has been built around Eisner’s idea of Walker as an everyday guy who brings a ham sandwich to work in a brown bag.<br /><br />“When you find the right people that work good with your candidate, you stick with them,” Gilkes said.</i><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-23125323686840576392012-12-22T20:24:53.838-06:002012-12-22T20:24:53.838-06:00Sikma too, eh?
