Visit Milwaukee, the convention & visitors bureau dedicated to providing information on all things to do in Milwaukee, is using the occasion of the albeit virtual Democratic National Convention to help shine a spotlight on the city.  The organization has created two :30s–including this film titled “Unique Unites”–that highlight local talent and reinforce the city’s place as a cultural epicenter.  

“Unique Unites” features a music track from local artists Sista Strings.  It juxtaposes unexpected and surprising elements of the city side-by-side to bring to life the idea that Milwaukee is a place for everything and everyone.  As the Sista Strings sing out, “Oh, it’s good.”

Both spots were created in partnership with the local independent advertising agency Hanson Dodge and were produced using local crews. Cody LaPlant of Cody LaPlant Films directed.
