In less than three weeks from the first meeting to premiering during NBC's "Meet the Press" on July 17th, GeniusRocket delivered a high quality production for a third of the typical cost.
With a straightforward and emotional message, Jam Session is the first advertising campaign launched by The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare in more than a decade. It is a decisive action to save what they consider essential public programs as Congress debates dramatic spending cuts.
